Let's Pretend This Never Happened

I found out about Jenny Lawson (Aka, The Bloggess) from my sister's blog and was interested in checking out her book, Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir). I had to wait a couple months before it was available at the library, but it was worth the wait. The book cracked me up. Jenny Lawson is a very funny woman and despite how obnoxious it was, I couldn't help reading parts aloud to my husband. I don't read many humor books (maybe because it is not a huge genre?) but always enjoy them when I do. I especially enjoyed this book for Lawson's warped sense of humor and the way she dramatically delivered stories. I could relate to her, particularly in the story "And Then I Got Stabbed in the Face by a Serial Killer" in which she describes her social awkwardness/ anxiety, something I myself suffer from (though thankfully not to the same degree). Another story I particularly enjoyed was "The Dark and Disturbing Secrets HR Doesn't Want You to Know," in part because I was in the process of job hunting at the time. But I don't think there was a story I didn't like. I enjoyed the entire book and definitely recommend it to everyone (except those who get easily offended).
