In her third book, Jenny Lawson once again delves into the unpredictability that is her everyday life with pets, a daughter, a long-suffering husband, a slightly inappropriate amount of curiosity about weird stuff, rheumatoid arthritis, anxiety, OCD, and depression. Phew, that's a lot. And once again, she discusses all of these things with honesty and humor and kindness and just all-over wonderfulness.
I love how she's able to balance the frustration of dealing with health insurance roadblocks and the despair of long-term depressive episodes with the hilarity of some VERY NSFW product pitches for Shark Tank and the odd (yet somehow still very relatable?) text conversations with her sister about bearcat pee smelling like buttered popcorn (it does; National Geographic says so). I absolutely loved listening to this audiobook, which is read by Lawson, and I'm pretty confident that I'll read/listen to anything else she writes/records in the future. If you haven't read this or her other books (Let's Pretend This Never Happened and Furiously Happy) you're missing out.
