Broken (in the Best Possible Way) by Jenny Lawson
4.0
4.5 stars! I absolutely love Jenny's writing- it's not very often I have read something (definitely not entire books) that had me consistently laughing like a hysterical witch in public. I had read Let's Pretend This Never Happened during a time when I was living in a new place, with truly one friend, so needless to say, Jenny provided something for me that was like providing a new friend.
Reading this book was a much different experience in the sense that there was a much harder reality to face. It's brutal sometimes, mostly because it so perfectly illustrates what living with depression and anxiety is like. I saw my closest friend in the text, me in the anecdotes, my family in the support systems she mentioned. It was raw and emotional, a much different reading experience than my other read of her work, but incredibly important to me in a new, special way.
