Furiously Happy is a collection of stories from Jenny Lawson’s life and experiences with mental illness. I’ve been wanting to read Furiously Happy since it came out, but somehow I never got to. When I saw it in the airport on my way to my vacation I bought it immediately – and have zero regrets.
This book was such a fun, light read and yet it had such deep emotion and many relatable moments. I loved it very, very much and it was perfect for the trip – the short chapters made it easy to read just a little every few days. Laughing about mental illness should absolutely be a trend, as it makes you feel so much less alone and weird. Jenny Lawson is hilarious.
Highly recommend this one!

I LOVE Jenny Lawson. Do you follow her blog as well? It’s hilarious. I listened to both of her books on audiobook and had people give me weird looks on the bus because I kept cackling.

No, I don’t! I didn’t even remember she had a blog. I’ll look it up!
I definitely need to read her other book, I was worried that it’s not quite as funny, but I’ve only heard good things about it!

Her blog is called The Bloggess — it’s great! Her other book is actually her first book and goes more into her life growing up, which was hilarious and very interesting.
She actually posted on her social media & blog that she is trying to open up a book store in Texas where she lives. I can’t wait when that finally happens! 🙂

I was thinking of your comment and a couple more people who recommended, in this post, that I pick up the other book, and bought the audio yesterday! Hahaha
So far Furiously Happy is funnier, but Let’s Pretend This Never Happened is really hilarious!! Definitely made my chores yesterday a lot more pleasant to do.

This is one of my favorite books. It’s not only helped me with my own mental health struggles, but every time I read it I laugh until I cry. You should check out Jenny’s other book, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, if you haven’t already.
