Let's Pretend This Never Happened: (a Mostly True Memoir)

by Jenny Lawson

Penguin USA | April 17, 2012 | Hardcover

Based on 137 ratings | Rate this

For fans of Tina Fey and David Sedaris-Internet star Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess, makes her literary debut.

Jenny Lawson realized that the most mortifying moments of our lives-the ones we'd like to pretend never happened-are in fact the ones that define us. In the #1 New York Times bestseller, Let's Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson takes readers on a hilarious journey recalling her bizarre upbringing in rural Texas, her devastatingly awkward high school years, and her relationship with her long-suffering husband, Victor. Chapters include: "Stanley the Magical, Talking Squirrel"; "A Series of Angry Post-It Notes to My Husband"; "My Vagina Is Fine. Thanks for Asking"; "And Then I Snuck a Dead Cuban Alligator on an Airplane." Pictures with captions (no one would believe these things without proof) accompany the text.

Putting the Fun in Dys-fun-ctional
by Meredith Dempster
12 months ago

So when I first picked up this book and started reading it I wasn't sure. But the further in I got the better it was. I passed the book onto a friend to read (just the chapter on HR) and give back so I could finish. They became ADDICTED to this book, so much so they phoned up another friend and tried to read excerpts of the book to them over the phone. I say try because they literally had tears from laughing so hard rolling down their cheeks! They both ended up pre-ordering copies of their own…In short if you've got a semi sarcastic sense of humour you MUST read this book. I eventually got the book back and with it a thank you from my friend who admitted they probably would NEVER have picked this up on their own. BUT was SOOOOOO glad that I introduced them to the completely dysfunctional world of Jenny Lawson!
