"Even when I was funny, I wasn't this funny."-Augusten Burroughs, author of Running with Scissors and This Is How "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 "Fucked up in the best possible way. Adorably offensive."-Jesus* "Jenny Lawson is hilarious, snarky, witty, totally inappropriate, and 'Like Mother Teresa, Only Better.'"- Marie Claire "[Lawson] writes with a rambling irreverence that makes you wish she were your best friend."- Entertainment Weekly "The funniest memoir ever about a talking squirrel, anxiety disorder, couch etiquette, and more. Believe us, Lawson is hilarious." - Ladies' Home Journal "GET READY. Jenny has such a disturbing, ill-mannered, rich sense of humor you will wonder, 'Am I the sick one for laughing?'

It's one of my favorite books in the past five years."-Kathryn Stockett, # 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Help "Funny, raunchy, and unexpectedly uplifting… Let's Pretend will leave you hoping that Lawson's next book happens and soon."- People "Take one part David Sedaris and two parts Chelsea Handler and you'll have some inkling of the cockeyed humor of Jenny Lawson…[She] flaunts the sort of fearless comedic chops that will make you spurt Diet Coke through your nose."- Parade *Jesus is the author's hairdresser.

Synopsis
The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy . "Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate."-- O, The Oprah Magazine 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.

    Good transaction. I received this book in good time. It was nicely packaged (with several other books), so no damage to it while in transit. It is in good condition, and looks just as it was described and photographed in the listing. What more do you want in an eBay transaction? I’ve bought a few from this seller and wouldn't have any hesitation in buying from them again. Thank you!

    Ordered Tuesday night. Shipped early Wednesday morning. Arrived on time Saturday morning by USPS Bound Printed Matter from TN to WI. It was packaged in a gray plastic shipping bag without cushioning. End of spine had minor shipping damage (see photos). It was the only noticeable condition issue on an otherwise very good used cookbook. Exceptional value. Good experience with a not-for-profit organization. Thanks!

    Wow, pleasantly surprised to receive a brand new copy still in the shrink wrap, although it has a little bump on the top cover that goes through to several pages, makes no difference, as I got the book at a bargain price. Fast shipping, very happy with my purchase, I recommend this seller!
