It had its annoying parts (fights with husband) but it was more interesting and funnier than other memoirs by older and more more accomplished people I've read. Someone asked me what the Bloggess wrote about the other day and I said, um - Taxidermy and depression (though it's more anxiety coupled with an active imagination). She's got a potty mouth and gets into some gruesome details, which don't bother me none. ...more

Total hilarity. I love Jenny Lawson's blog, The Bloggess, and this book is obviously in the exact same vein. Most of the stories were new, making the book worthwhile. Be careful reading in public - when you laugh out loud, people WILL stare. ...more

A funny memoir by a blogger I follow. My only criticisms are that she will too often remind us how funny and crazy this is, and sometimes she says vagina when she means labia.

Also, it can be a bit terrifying, reading what it is like living with an anxiety disorder.

Am torn on how to rate this! Love the blog and parts of this were very funny. My absolute fave was the diaper in the pool. But some parts were kind of slow. I really want to give it 3.5, I think.
