Broken

I have read (and loved) Jenny's previous two books - [b:Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir 12868761 Let's Pretend This Never Happened A Mostly True Memoir Jenny Lawson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1489415716l/12868761.SY75.jpg 17995392] and [b:Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things 23848559 Furiously Happy A Funny Book About Horrible Things Jenny Lawson https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1523830369l/23848559.SY75.jpg 43075476]. They were outrageously funny, and extremely relatable. I love Jenny, period. However, Broken was....a harder read for me. Jenny was very clearly in the midst of a deep depression when she wrote most of this book, and as someone who's suffered from depression in the past, it was hard to read and get through. Mostly because I knew exactly how she felt. There are still hilarious chapters to this book, but honestly? Most of the book is dark, and about how she suffers from day to day from her various ailments. I probably won't reread this one, which is a shame because I adore Jenny so very much. I'll stick with her first two books, and laugh my way through them.Please know – I'm not saying she should have only written funny things. Hell no. She can write what she wants, and absolutely should. I personally had a rough time with the book bc I relate so hard. That's all.
