No one goes from gut-bustingly hilarious to gut-wrenchingly relatable like Jenny Lawson. And now my gut is all messed up so thanks a lot, Jenny. Do not read this book unless you're prepared to have total gut replacement surgery because yours got destroyed from all the laughing and crying. Still worth it, though.

 - I've been reading Jenny Lawson's writing for over a decade now. She's always been able to bounce between the absurd with the serious, and to find the absurdities within the serious things.
- She writes so clearly about what it's like to live with depression and anxiety, and how those conditions can so easily swallow your entire life - even when you're on the other side of it and are dealing with the financial and social fallout.
- Much less taxidermy in this book than previous books, just a heads up in case that's the reason you love her, lol.
