Lawson seems to have one of those minds that is constantly ruminating on things regardless of whether they pertain to the situation in which she finds herself. While some have criticized the book for being a series of blog posts, each essay shows a bit how Ms. Lawson's mind works, which pays off as one progresses through the book. 
 With that said, the horrible things take up about a quarter of the chapters in the book. This leads to some of the book's insightful moments, as when she and her husband Victor go to the financial planner near the novel's end. I wish I would have picked up more connections like that as it would knit together the two narratives into a more cohesive whole. (That is more of a commentary on my ability as a reader than Lawson's ability as an author.) Lawson's notes of encouragement and information (about mental health) are also noteworthy since they explain what having horrible things like depression feels like and how they can be dealt with. 
 A very entertaining read and I look forward to delving into her first book (Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir) this summer.
