Broken: in the Best Possible Way

Description

'A new book from Jenny Lawson is always cause for celebration, and Broken is the party of the year . . . I loved it' - Sarah Knight, bestselling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck Hilarious, heart-warming and honest, Broken (in the best possible way) is about living, surviving, and thriving with anxiety. The instant New York Times Bestseller from the author of Furiously Happy and Let's Pretend This Never Happened. As Jenny Lawson's hundreds of thousands of fans know, she suffers from depression. In Broken, Jenny humanizes what we all face in an all-too-real way, reassuring us that we're not alone and making us laugh while doing it. She tackles such timelessly debated questions as 'How do dogs know they have penises?' We see how her vacuum cleaner almost set her house on fire, how she was attacked by three bears, and why she can never go back to the post office. Of course, Jenny's long-suffering husband Victor, the Ricky to Jenny's Lucille Ball, is present throughout. A treat for Jenny Lawson's already existing fans, and destined to convert new ones, Broken is a beacon of hope and a wellspring of laughter when we all need it most. A New York Times, Washington Post and LA Times Bestseller.

Jenny Lawson is an award-winning humorist known for her great candor in sharing her struggle with mental illness. She lives in Texas with her husband and daughter and was constantly "buying too many books" ("Not a real thing," she insists), so she decided to skip the middleman and just started her own bookshop, which also serves booze because books and booze are what magic is made of. She has previously written Let's Pretend This Never Happened and Furiously Happy, both of which were #1 New York Times bestsellers. She also wrote You Are Here, which inexplicably made it onto the New York Times bestseller list in spite of the fact that it was basically a very fun coloring book. She would like to be your friend unless you're a real asshole. And yes, she realizes that this whole paragraph is precisely the reason she shouldn't be allowed to write her own bio.
