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

dark emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective medium-paced

5.0

An amazing, beautiful, weird book. So encouraging and funny. Filled with so much wisdom and relatable reflections of mental illness all interspersed chaotically between hilarious and weird anecdotes, and yet it's done so gracefully and meaningfully. I love this book so much and bought a copy for myself.
