Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir by Jenny Lawson
5.0
One thing that has always attracted me to a Jenny Lawson book is her hilarious tone of voice. I usually dont laugh out loud at books, but Jenny consistently has made that happen for me.
This is the second Lawson book I've read (Furiously Happy being the first) and I would say that this book is a bit more organized than Furiously Happy. However, that doesnt mean that I love FH any less.
The stories in this book are so wild and makes you always question if these events really happened or not, but I would have to imagine that (minus the hyperboles) they are real because who would have the imagination to make stories like these up? Often, I would start a chapter in this book and at the end of the chapter questioning to myself "wait, how did she get here again?" But, Im often not mad at all the rants/detours away from the main point of the chapters because its often a very entertaining side note.
I really really love the openness Jenny gives to her audience and isn't afraid to show herself. We can all see our weirdness through these stories, and she makes a great example that we shouldn't be ashamed of our quirks or health issues or family upbring.
If you're looking for a book to forget about politics or the pandemic or anything in the news that brings you down, this is a great book to help you escape from that.
