Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson

3.0

I really loved the first chapter of this book, it was hilarious, and I loved the last three chapters, I though that they sent a wonderful message to the readers about mental illness and were very positive about even though there are awful days with struggled that there is always going to be a good day down the road and to hold on to the good days and to keep fighting for them, which is a beautiful message. However all the chapters in between were mediocre at best if not garbled anecdotes that were neither funny nor uplifting but the random thoughts of a person packaged in the manic pixie dream girl esq way but with the understanding that it's mental Illness being shown here not a "cool" girl persona. The book felt random and rushed to me and therefor hard to connect to
