So this was on one of our display tables at work for about a month, and I kept staring at its cover going, "This is something I need to read." 
 I feel like the kind of audience who sees a mouse in a cape and thinks, "I MUST HAVE THIS" is exactly the kind of audience Lawson's book needs. 
 Let's Pretend This Never Happened was incredibly funny. I laughed out loud at some parts (which earned me some funny looks from the people around me, who ostensibly believe that laughing at one's eReader is a bit unusual). It's obvious that Lawson is a blogger, because her style of humour is exactly the kind that we internet lurkers tend to employ (the sort that makes the people around us kind of scratch their heads and try to pretend we didn't just say something vastly weird/confusing/both). There were some points when it became a little much and felt like it was trying too hard. To be fair, I think part of that comes from the fact that she is more used to a blogging style, where you can be all-out in short bursts without it wearing on your audience. The book wasn't all aimed at getting a laugh, though. There were some truly poignant and personal moments as well, and Lawson didn't try to brush those off with a joke and pretend that those times weren't difficult. 
 Let's Pretend This Never Happened was a quick and enjoyable read, in the same vein as Tina Fey's Bossypants. Also, it involved a Harry Potter vagina. And (spoiler alert) she actually owns the taxidermied mouse on the cover. Its name is Hamlet von Schnitzel. I'm not sure what greater commendation I could give.

 Rating: 3.5 Foxen. It was quite funny and enjoyable, but there were parts that didn't really mesh with my style of humour. 
 Favourite Quote: (Aside from the one about HP's vagina, which is incredibly long and which I quoted on my other blog, and so will not make you endure again, but it's here if you don't follow me on both.) 
 "And this was the very reason I decided to tell this story...to celebrate the strange, to give thanks for the bizarre, and to one day help my daughter understand that the reason her mother appeared mostly naked on Fox News (that's in book two, sorry) is probably the same reason her grandfather occasionally brings his pet donkey into bars: Because you are defined not by life's imperfect moments, but by your reaction to them. Because there is joy in embracing -- rather than running screaming from -- the utter absurdity of life. And because it's illegal to leave an unattended donkey in your car, even if you do live in Texas." 
 Recommend: The humour is touch-and-go at points, but largely this is a yes.
