3.5 rounded up.

The book has its moments and I can see it being really fun for some people, personally, I preferred the parts where the author didn't try to be funny.
I really liked the parts about depression and loss because there is a tender wisdom about Lawson that makes her seem like a magnificent human in her own way.
I didn't care about most the of marriage stuff (except maybe when she tells us the key to a lasting marriage is laziness which I found pretty funny).
I feel like I should have related more with the author's annoying ADHD self since I'm also ADHD and I identify as annoying AF but it felt almost forced at times and I found myself going “oooookay for someone with a bad memory you sure remember a lot of trivial conversations” a bit too often.
The part about buttons was cute as all get outs and I hope someday, someone will look at the sewing notions I'll leave behind with that kind of tenderness.
