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

3.0

The author is funny. At times laugh out loud funny. She's also a great writer and spoke eloquently about the pain of mental/emotional illness, which I think is vitally important (it shocks me to know that there are still parts of the US that look down on folks that have to take medication for these disabilities). I just didn't think the book jelled perfectly and sometimes came across as trying too hard. But kudos to Ms. Lawson for tackling a very difficult subject in general and an even harder subject to tackle with humor.
