I really enjoyed Lawson's previous book and so had to get my hands on this one. A humorous look at depression is a can't miss, in my book.
I have totally fallen for Jenny Lawson. I thought her first book hilariously funny and, in fact, gave a copy to a friend and coworker who reported needing a good book (and a good laugh). In this book, Lawson faces her mental illness head-on with fantastic results. Her humor is less about being self-deprecating (though it may seem that at firsrt) and more about being accepting of her illness and her less than “ideal” life. She is very open and honest and very, very funny. I laughed, I got a little emotional, and I found myself very comforted. It is unsurprising to me that she has such a loyal following. I follow her blog and do hope she continues to write books.
Loaned this to a former coworker, but as I no longer work there, it's unlikely to return to me. Happy travels, little book!
