Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson
4.0
Another book club read! I liked it more than I expected to. I almost skipped this one but then I saw Patrick Rothfuss' rave review and had to give it a shot.
Not the type of book I normally go for, and it took me time to get into it. The author certainly had a unique voice that I found a little annoying at first.
But she made me laugh out loud several times, and that counts for a lot. I found certain chapters more humorous than others, but overall it was a fun read.
Her raw honesty about her mental illness is inspiring, and there's a couple chapters at the end that get very sappy, but in an empowering way.
