Jenny is a hilarious author and blogger. I actually read her second book first and liked that one better, but it was great for listening to on audiobook and I definitely laughed out loud.

I didn't really like this the first time I tried it, but this time it was great. My review is here.

It was an ok read, but felt a bit too ramble-y at times. Skipped over some of the taxidermy stuff, of which there's a fair amount mentioned.

Non proprio 5 stelle ma sicuramente 4.7
Jenny Lawson ha avuto un’infanzia così pazza ( e non pazza tipo mio padre non chiude mai la porta del bagno mentre lo usa) che se non ci fossero le foto a testimoniare non le crederei.
Grazie per averla condivisa

Her humor is not for me. She has the occasional funny note, anecdote, or joke, but she is also wildly neurotic and very difficult to take in larger doses. She just isn’t for me.

Oh my goodness....this book was so funny, yet SO inappropriate. This is basically the story of Junie B. Jones after she grows up, and learns lots of bad language, yet still doesn't have a filter.

Because the "F" word is featured prominently in this book, including in the large-font titles of some chapters, I recommend reading it away from small children and others whose standards of humor are slightly more high-brow.

Also because it is so inappropriately funny, I don't recommend reading it in public places, so you can snort and chortle in peace (AND don't have to explain what is funny, since it will most likely lose something in the re-telling...no, really, dead squirrel puppets, the zombie apocalypse, and necrophilia are HILLARIOUS!!!)
