Broken

I've listened to all of Jenny Lawson's books on audio and I don't want to read her books any other way. I love her narration and I love that her voice exudes honesty, vulnerability, and laughter. Per usual, Jenny Lawson is able to reveal her struggles, fears, uncertainties, broken bits and all, to help readers understand that they are not alone. Equal parts memoir, self help, and humor - this look inside of Jenny Lawson's mind is candid and revealing. She can go from the funniest story to the saddest  - but readers won't be able to stop listening. Everyone can find something to relate in and if everyone could talk about mental health the way that Jenny Lawson does the world would be a much better place.  

Furiously Happy

Jenny Lawson's second book is another laugh out loud masterpiece. One wouldn't think that a book about mental illness could be soo funny and empowering, but if anyone could do it, it's Lawson. She talks candidly and hilariously about her own struggles and how she faces (or doesn't face) her myriad of mental health issues, depression, and other disorders. I made the great decision to listen to the audiobook, and Lawson narrates it with ease and hilarity, it just begs to be listened to. This book also helps listeners to understand mental illness a little bit better and helps create empathy for people suffering some such a misunderstood disease and stigma. I read anything that the bloggess writes, she's a veritable wordsmith and storyteller!

Let's Pretend This Never Happened

People have been recommending this book to me for years so I'm glad I finally got around to it. Too damn funny. Jenny Lawson's outrageous wit and humor sparkle in every story. I listened to the audiobook version which was narrated by Jenny Lawson herself and damn was it funny. I found myself laughing out loud in my car, looking up weird taxidermy, and checking out her blog. She is truly one of a kind. Not many people can retell ridiculous, horrible, and scarring incidents from their life with such poise, grace and hilarity. She bares it all and manages to transform traumatizing stories into hilarious, stronger than ever triumphs.

Recommended for fans of humor and pretty much.... everyone.
