About this product

Product Information

The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy . "Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate."-- O, The Oprah Magazine When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it. In the irreverent Let's Pretend This Never Happened , Lawson's long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments--the ones we want to pretend never happened--are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.

  • stange life story

    Very well written and beyond funny. When you think that your life is bad and could not be any more odd, read this book! It will take you on a journey of strange but true events. Should be a movie.

  • Humor and mental illness.

  • Love it

    There is a bit much bad language and personal body part talk in there, but if you can get past that... it is hilarious. And even though anxiety disorder is not a fun thing to have... if you can laugh at yourself, to feel better, then so be it. She has a way of wording her tales... well, I love it!!

  • Over the top

    She's funny for sure, and I laughed out loud many times, but I tired of things like the word "vagina" being used frequently and stories being so exagerated that they weren't funny because they were rediculous.

  • Disappointed

    Curse words are a sign of lack of knowledge of descriptive words. Really disappointed in book as the theme promised to be interesting
