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.

Download NowWhat did I like? About 2 chapters where she talked about meeting her husband. I thought maybe it was going to turn into a decent book. I was wrong. What did I dislike? I disliked that somehow this ended up on the New York Times Bestseller List as as a #1 Seller; that Entertainment Weekly gave it glowing reviews; that Ladies Home Journal called it "the funniest memoir ever...."; that People Magazine, the Washington Post, etc. gave this raving reviews. I am clearly not in touch with what is going on in the world. It was trash. Complete and utter trash. I was looking for an uplifting humorous book. Something to make me smile. All of the reviews said that this was the book to buy. They were wrong and I paid too much money for this book. I don't know what I am going to do with it. I can't give it to a local charity because I would be ashamed. I can't recommend and share it with a friend. All I have left is to throw it in the garbage. What a waste of good paper (I should have bought it on Kindle, my mistake). Did I mention that I don't like the book? She made money on this book? And sadly, I ordered two humorous books at the same time and now I see that the second one is written by Jenny Lawson as well! The joke is obviously on me, but I refuse to let her and these blind book critiques have the last laugh! Save yourself. Do not buy this book. Save yourself time, money, and aggrevation knowing that people like this are considered "authors". If that is the case, then I am writing my own book because they are selling people a bill of goods and people aren't smart enough to see it. I am ashamed to know that I spent so much time trying to understand this author (who seems like an intelligent person). She never once made me smile or laugh. She just constantly shocked and amazed me. She actually quit her job in HR to write....this. But hey, she is laughing all the way to the bank. The joke is on us.
