The first review of Jenny Lawson’s Furiously Happy has just been posted by Kirkus Reviews! Obviously, they loved it. I knew it’d be amazing. I’ll be waiting in line at the store for this book.
Review highlights:
“Rather than hiding the facts, she openly divulges, in a darkly humorous way, how she copes…”
“Along with discussions about taxidermic giraffes and raccoons, whether cats yawn, and mobs of swans attacking her…”
“Passing out during a gynaecological exam because she’s afraid of medical coats…”
“The details are sometimes graphic…but always honest and usually funny.”
“Her goal is not to offend, although…”
“Her amusing essays open up a not-so-funny topic: mental illness in its many guises.”
“Kudos.”
Don’t be afraid. I won’t smite you. Probably.
