Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir [J0310]

2013 PB in nice clean condition. The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy. 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.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Now I want to buy a taxidermied animal dressed up as a pirate to put on my mantle. What has she done to me?"; "It was an interesting memoir by a funny lady who shares her childhood experiences, ones that pretty much explain how she turned out to be the person she is. She had a most unique childhood!"; "Funny autobiography of sorts about the authors wild childhood and mishaps along the way."
