Description In Favor Of Books Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir

For fans of Tina Fey and David Sedaris—Internet star Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess, makes her literary debut.   Jenny Lawson realized that the most mortifying moments of our lives—the ones we’d like to pretend never happened—are in fact the ones that define us. In the #1 New York Times bestseller, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson takes readers on a hilarious journey recalling her bizarre upbringing in rural Texas, her devastatingly awkward high school years, and her relationship with her long-suffering husband, Victor. Chapters include: “Stanley the Magical, Talking Squirrel”; “A Series of Angry Post-It Notes to My Husband”; “My Vagina Is Fine. Thanks for Asking”; “And Then I Snuck a Dead Cuban Alligator on an Airplane.” Pictures with captions (no one would believe these things without proof) accompany the text.

Write-Up Based On Books Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir

I think there might be something wrong with my sense of humor. I tried to read this book but it's not making me laugh. In fact, it's making me annoyed. It reminds me of a whiny nagger who is all about "me". Oh right, it's a memoir. Anyway, I jumped to some of the chapters to see if I missed anything funny but it was all the same. I'm giving away my copy in the hope that someone may find it funny and not completely waste the tree that this book was printed on.

Overall Rating: 1.5I dont know if its specifically American problem, but let me tell you, this is one of the worst memoirs Ive read. (Seriously America, do you honestly find this funny? O.o) And Ill tell you why, Im not just saying this because of some misplaced sense of spite, ok?When I first heard about this book, I was very excited it sounded like a real good reading material and it had an awesome cover to boost with too.From the very beginning though, I realized it would be far from the

Yeah...I thought I had it weird growing up. Besides being the daughter of an atheist father and a religious nut-job mother, Mom was also what the humane society likes to call a "collector." (This is a polite way of saying "animal hoarder.") At any given time, we had a dozen dogs and cats (and I mean a dozen of EACH, not total!) living in the house. For years, I used the toilet with my mother's pet possum sleeping right beside me. Jenny Lawson had it worse than me, however. At least the animals

Pandemic Recommendation I forgot how much fun I had with this book. If you are in need of some laughs and lighthearted moments this might be just perfect right now.4.5 I Laughed So Hard I Peed a Little StarsBuddy read with some of my friends at Buddies Books and Baubles because after I read Beyonce the Chicken there was no way I was not going to read her book.Humor is a really subjective thing. Either something falls into stuff you think is funny or it doesnt. Regretfully my hubs LOVEs Jackass

If you're looking for a Sedaris alternative, this unfortunately isn't it. Which kills me, because I get the feeling Lawson had the potential (and raw material) to knock it out of the park, but it just doesn't come together.Jenny Lawson is definitely funny. When she really gets going on a story, it's pretty fantastic - but that's only 10% of the book, and the remaining 90% is just awful. I can't help feeling like this book was all written in a single sitting, with little editing or review. It's
