Let's Pretend This Never Happened is February's Book of the Month
About the Book
When Jenny Lawson was little, all
she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her
fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It
did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the
strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for
it.
In the irreverent Let’s Pretend This Never Happened,
Lawson’s long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the
surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we
want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us
the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they
were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out
loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing,
yet wonderful moments of our lives.
"Lawson’s self-deprecating humor is not only gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate; it allows her to speak…in a real and raw way.”—O, The Oprah Magazine
"[Lawson] writes with a rambling irreverence that makes you wish she were your best friend.”—Entertainment Weekly
