Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir
by Jenny Lawson (Goodreads Author)
by Jenny Lawson (Goodreads Author)
This is the first book in which I've ever read the WHOLE introduction, epilogue, author bio and even the pull quotes on the back cover. Because as I knew from reading her blog, Jenny Lawson's wicked humor is addictive. You want to devour any morsel she throws at you. I am grateful for Lawson's weird, awkward, hilarious and poignant take on the duality of her country and city lives. I love the arc of Lawson's growth into a person who found the people she can trust to lean on for a laugh, some reassurance, or even to help her dig up a dog grave. I leave this book feeling more able to laugh at my own crazy life and recognize the bizarre opportunities we have every day to say "thank you".
