Customer Reviews

Laugh until you cry!

Omg! I absolutely love this book! Only purchase this if you want to laugh. And laugh. And then laugh some more. If you read this in public people will stare... because you will be laughing uncontrollably. And maybe even crying. But only because you are laughing so hard.

Laugh Out Loud Funny!

I couldn’t put it down! And couldn’t stop laughing! A must read for anyone!!

Hilarious

Crying laughing. I love all of Lawson’s books

More of a blogger book

Thumbs down.

Jenny Lawson is bananas and I love her

As someone who deals with mental illness and has felt shrouded for it, the way Jenny shines a light on it feels breathtaking, not to mention the fact that I can't breathe from laughing every time I read it

This is THE funniest book I have ever read in my life.

Her poor husband Victor. Lawson is hilariously irreverent in her own style. She is agoraphobic and brings a comic outlook to this personality disorder.

Laughed so hard I cried

Honestly this book really warms my heart and you can’t help but relate with the writer. Her crazy childhood and weird life experiences really encourages you that all is not bad and you will one day get to laugh about it.

Absolutely Read This Book

Jenny Lawson is absolutely hilarious and down to earth. Her anecdotes provide gut-busting humor while she brings up wonderful and incredibly valid points about living and dealing with mental illness. I picked it off the shelf when I worked at my local library and I devoured it in one night with tears of laughter. This is one of my absolute favorite books, and Jenny has quickly moved up my chain of favorite authors. As a bonus, follow her on twitter for even more weird and amazing content.
