Updated Review (12/19/15): I gave the audiobook a listen to compare my experience to just reading the actual book. Still 5 stars, still great, plus- bonus chapter! Jenny isn't a trained audiobook reader with a fancy British accent but it makes it even better coming from a regular sounding person (sometimes audiobooks can sound so condescending). I think I prefer reading the actual book more but that's because I tend to zone out and had to rewind this several times to relisten. Anyway, super good. 
 Original Review (11/1/15): I read Let's Pretend This Never Happened a few years ago and fell in love with the book/Jenny Lawson's sense of humor. It felt like I found a book that just plain got me. I now recommend her first book to everyone ever, whether they want my book advice or not. Furiously Happy just joined the list of "books I'm going to recommend you read or else I do need to reconsider our friendship." It's that special to me. 
 Jenny Lawson is what my therapist would call "perfectly imperfect." (which is a compliment, in case that wasn't clear, which it probably wasn't because even I get offended when my therapist tries to tell me I can't be perfect. ANYWAY.) Her life isn't perfect but she takes it all in stride and tries to find the giggles in any situation. This book was a bit more dark and personal than her first book but in a really good way. The main theme was focused on her struggles with mental illness and chronic pain, which should be super downers to read but somehow Jenny found a way to even make deep depressions a little funny. 
 My favorite line (and oh god, there are some real gems in this one) was during her husband's interview with her (god bless Victor's patience, side note). He asks her to describe depression for someone who has never personally struggled with it. After giving several quality descriptions, she finally says "Depression is like... when you don't want cheese anymore. Even though it's cheese." And...it's so true. That honestly is what it feels like. 
 So. Overall, this book is on my favorites list. This book made me laugh, cry, but also feel accepted. A lot of her own struggles with mental illness really resonated with me and there were parts that made me feel a little less alone in my craziness (like hiding when the doorbell rings- it's not just me!). Jenny Lawson is a wonderful writer and it's rare that a book makes me feel as much as I did. I can't wait for more from her! 
 (Unrelated note on how awesome Jenny is- I emailed her shortly after reading her first book, basically to gush about how good it was and how it had really made me feel great. I was completely stunned when she sent a reply telling me I rock and sending mutual love back. It was then that I decided that she was my type of people and we should quite obviously be friends.)
