Pretending to be normal is draining and requires amazing amounts of energy and Xanax. 
 I am not surprised at all that this book has received such controversial reviews, it is full of possibilities to get butthurt. 
 It is stuffed with abusive language and touches upon heavy topics like being an outsider, drug abuse, anorexia, anxiety, miscarriage and depression. 
 And you know what? It is one of the funniest books I have read anyways. 
 Jenny Lawson's writing makes her memoir so insanely hilarious, absurdly imaginative, brutally honest, occasionally philosophical and completely hysterical, it's just a delight to read. 
 And as much as this book made me laugh out loud, it also made me really sad a few times. 
 I had never heard of Jenny Lawson before, but now I'll make sure to check out her blog more often - I just love her wits, and her imagination.
