This is a ridiculous book.

Jenny Lawson's blogging career is a pale curtain disguising a life so breathtakingly wild that even with the suspicion that much of this book is exaggerated, the fact remains that she's lived a magnificently hilarious life. Reading about it is a consistently compelling experience.

Also, be aware that you will likely split your sides laughing, because the stream-of-consciousness tangents and improbable anecdotes paint the picture of a person so bizarre and off the wall that we find her effortlessly charming in ways that are familiar to all introverts, nerds, and socially awkward people.

Highly recommended.
