I want to thank Goodreads, Jenny Lawson, and Henry Holt for my copy of this book as I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. I know I will be revisiting this book in the future. Her stories were things I could relate it and some were so funny, I just had to share. Sitting next to my husband, I’d have to stop reading many times so I could read him parts of the book. I had many people look at me as I laughed away the morning, so I’d just hold up the book and smile at them. I read Broken poolside at a resort, this year on vacation. A calming atmosphere filled the room as she spoke, it was as if, a good friend had stopped by to chat. I can tell you she was as personable and friendly, as she is in her books. I had the pleasure of meeting Jenny at a book reading a few years back and I was thrilled. She’s real and she’ll definitely make you feel accepted and normal. As Jenny Lawson's hundreds of thousands of fans know, she suffers from depression. She’ll say what many individuals are thinking but they’re too afraid to say it out loud. From the 1 New York Times bestselling author of Furiously Happy and Let's Pretend This Never Happened comes a deeply relatable book filled with humor and honesty about depression and anxiety. Jenny was sincere and truthful with her readers. I liked that Jenny was not afraid to be open. “It’s not the same path that everyone else takes, and that can be hard and lonely, but I was reminded that there are amazing things that I would never see with normal eyes and other paths.” It’s all about your perspective: literally and figuratively.
You’re here at this specific spot, this right spot at the right second, for a purpose. I liked how Jenny described this in her book. Discussing depression and anxiety, she lets her readers know that we all have our own issues and that we all take our own unique path in life. Of course, Jenny's long-suffering husband Victor-the Ricky to Jenny's Lucille Ball-is present throughout.Ī treat for Jenny Lawson's already existing fans, and destined to convert new ones, Broken is a beacon of hope and a wellspring of laughter.Jenny talks openly about her mental health issues and I appreciated her upfront approach and her honest opinions and emotions. She tackles such timelessly debated questions as "How do dogs know they have penises?" We see how her vacuum cleaner almost set her house on fire, how she was attacked by three bears, business ideas she wants to pitch to Shark Tank, and why she can never go back to the post office. Jenny discusses the frustration of dealing with her insurance company in "An Open Letter to My Insurance Company," which should be an anthem for anyone who has ever had to call their insurance company to try and get a claim covered.
In Broken, she explores her experimental treatment of transcranial magnetic stimulation with brutal honesty.
