Let’s Pretend This Never Happened
By Jenny Lawson
Jenny Lawson is a bad influence. As I listened to this on my commute, I had the following conversation with my husband.
Me: (I’m in the car on my phone.) Hey, can you grab my purse?
Nick: OK. Where are you?
M: Driving to the eye doctor, but I forgot my wallet.
N: Ugh.
M: I just packed your lunch!
N: Are you coming back?
M: No, you need to bring it to me.
N: Ugh.
M: Oh, also. I don’t know where I’m going.
N: Ugh.
M: Please look it up.
N: (Gives me address.)
M: OK. I’m there. I love you.
::Later::
M: OK. I’m there. Walk in the door facing the hospital.
N: You want me to walk into the hospital?
M: No, the building facing the hospital.
N: In the hospital?
M: OMG! No!
Review
Jenny Lawson, who read this book herself, is incredibly entertaining in short doses. She’s almost a little too much for me to take at once. Don’t let that stop you from listening to this, particularly if you gain energy from other people’s energy.

Are you a Bloggess fan or is she too much for you as well?

I read the book last year and thought that it was a bit hit/miss. I was cracking up hysterically in some bits and others felt like filler.

Yes there were some filler-type areas. I think listening to her read it in her soft Texas accent made it better than if I’d read it myself.
Thanks for commenting!
