About the Book

Even when I was funny, I wasn't this funny' Augusten Burroughs, author of Running With Scissors Have you ever embarrassed yourself so badly you thought you'd never get over it? Have you ever wished your family could be just like everyone else's? Have you ever been followed to school by your father's herd of turkeys, mistaken a marriage proposal for an attempted murder or got your arm stuck inside a cow? OK, maybe that's just Jenny Lawson . . . The bestselling memoir from one of America's most outlandishly hilarious writers.

About the Author :
Jenny Lawson is an award-winning and hugely popular columnist and blogger – her blog, www.thebloggess.com, receives 2-3 million page views every month and she has over 250,000 followers on Twitter. She has been called ‘the funniest woman alive’ (by at least three people), ‘one of the most progressive women’s voices of our time’ (by an acclaimed feminist writer), and ‘totally inappropriate’ (by Marie Claire). Jenny lives in Texas with her husband and daughter.

Review :
Hilarious . . . totally inappropriate A skewering but deeply affectionate portrait of her family, in the vein of David Sedaris . . . blends surprising honesty with acerbic wit Jenny Lawson is the QUEEN of saying too much, and then saying something even worse. And that is why I adore her GET READY. Jenny Lawson has such a disturbing, ill-mannered, rich sense of humor you will wonder, "Am I the sick one for laughing?" Everyone I gave the book to confirmed: We must all be sick, because this book IS HYSTERICAL . . . and yet it was also strangely touching at times. It's one of my favorite books in the past five years Poignant, funny and insane... a celebration of the strength and character it takes to withstand life's curveballs Even when I was funny, I wasn't this funny Displays the wit that's made her a hit on the Web... hilarious Lawson writes with a rambling irreverence that makes you wish she were your best friend Endlessly entertaining and consistently jaw-dropping There's something wrong with Jenny Lawson - magnificently wrong. I defy you to read her work and not hurt yourself laughing Fucked up in the best possible way. Adorably offensive Jenny Lawson's writing is nothing less than revolutionary... I say this without a hint of exaggeration: she may be one of the most progressive women's voices of our time Funny, irreverent. . . a comic character that readers will engage with in shocked dismay as they gratefully turn the pages The funniest memoir ever about a talking squirrel, anxiety disorder, couch etiquette, and more. Believe us, Lawson is hilarious Jenny Lawson is hilarious, snarky, witty, totally inappropriate ‘[A] wondrous knack for bawdy storytelling… Lawson’s self-deprecating humour is not only gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate; it also allows her to speak about subjects like depression, anxiety and infertility in a real and raw way’. O Magazine ‘Take one part David Sedaris and two parts Chelsea Handler and you’ll have some inkling of the cockeyed humor of Jenny Lawson… [She] flaunts the sort of fearless comedic chops that will make you spurt Diet Coke through your nose.’ Parade ‘Funny, raunchy and unexpectedly uplifting… will leave you hoping that Lawson’s next book happens, and soon'. People Magazine ‘Zany… hilarious… takes cues from the memoirs of Tina Fey and David Sedaris’. Reuters ‘Frankly, it would be hard to grow up free of eccentricities if one’s strongest memories of childhood involved a taxidermist father bringing home all manner of fierce creatures, alive and dead… The best and funniest parts of this memoir are the childhood reminiscences…but Lawson also wrings much amusement from the challenge of balancing her eccentricities with the demands of being grown up and having a family of her own’ The Herald ‘Bawdy, irreverent, searingly honest, big and loud… she keeps her readers in stitches’. The Huffington Post ‘A skewering, but deeply affectionate portrait of her family, in the vein of David Sedaris… blends surprising honesty with acerbic wit’. The New York Times ‘Lawson’s sweet-at-the-core book is really about valuing your family, however crazy they may be’ Whole Living Magazine ‘Clever is my kryptonite, and Jenny is one of the most clever people on the Internet’. Wil Wheaton

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
