“It's the difference between surviving life and living life.
It's the difference between taking a shower and teaching your monkey butler how
to shampoo your hair.”
Jenny Lawson – aka The Bloggess – returns with the follow-up to her
bestselling memoir Let's Pretend This Never Happened, recounting stories from
everyday family life in her inimitably frank, hilarious, bizarre and endearing
way. She describes her battles with depression and anxiety and her quest to
overcome them by saying yes to even the absurdist opportunities and making the
good times gloriously good. For as Jenny says: ‘You can't experience pain
without also experiencing the baffling and ridiculous moments of being fiercely,
unapologetically, intensely and (above all) furiously happy…’ It's a
philosophy that has – quite literally – saved her life.
