*Thank you to Jenny Lawson, Henry Holt & Company, and Netgalley for providing me with a E-ARC of "Broken (in the best possible way)" in exchange for an honest review* Jenny does it again. She's hilarious and more along my type of random type of humor then I realuzed at first? All of her and fans and new readers alike are in for a treat.

I adore Jenny Lawson's books, and this was no exception. My partner had to tell me to stop reading this book before bed because I was laughing so much that he could not fall asleep. Seriously. That being said, Lawson is an acquired taste and she is a random and zany writer. I feel that people probably either love or hate her work and I could see it being extremely polarizing. However, I firmly fall in the first camp and just loved it. Is it too soon for another book already, Jenny?!?

This is where I write a brief description of the book that I’ve read. But this is a Jenny Lawson book, and they tend to defy description. If you’ve ever read her previous work then you know she writes very zany, funny things, and a lot of tug-on-your-heart-strings things. If you like Allie Brosh or Samantha Irby, then you’ll love Jenny Lawson.
Jenny speaks very openly about her mental health issues, and how they affect her life. She also talks very openly about her family and their foibles, her taxidermy animals, businesses she can never go back to, tiny plastic penises flung around her car, and the insanity of everyday life.
This sounds like a cliche, but I laughed, I cried, and I always want more. The chapter on pitch ideas for “Shark Tank” alone is worth the price of the book. Buy this book!!
Thank you so much to NetGalley, Henry Holt & Company, and the author for this advanced reader copy. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I received an advance copy of Broken, by Jenny Lawson. I tried to like this book, but i could not even finish it. I really wanted to like this book, but i could not. The language, the absurd questions.
