Read This Book

Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir by Jenny  Lawson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars







I laughed out loud through most of this memoir--and I laugh when reading Jenny's blog (thebloggess.com) because her humor has that element of just being funny and poignant at the same time.

It took me three days to read this because I had to WORK.  A bad excuse for not being able to read the book straight through.

This is not a book for everyone.  It deals with mental illness and use the f word a lot but if that isn't a stopper for you, definitely read this well written story.

Jenny also has helped me when at Texas dinner parties and the subject of George W. comes up.  Instead of getting all huffy I just will calmly comment that 'Necrophilia is bad" and see where the conversation goes from there.  It can only get better.  Page 152.
