readers will engage with in shocked dismay as they gratefully turn the pages'Kirkus 'The funniest memoir ever about a talking squirrel, anxiety disorder, couch etiquette, and more. Believe us, Lawson is hilarious'. Ladies' Home Journal 'Jenny Lawson is hilarious, snarky, witty, totally inappropriate.' Marie Claire 'The Bloggess writes stuff that actually is laugh-out-loud, but you know that really you shouldn't be laughing and probably you'll go to hell for laughing, so maybe you shouldn't read it. That would be safer and wiser.' Neil Gaiman '[A] wondrous knack for bawdy storytelling... Lawson's self-deprecating humour is not only gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate; it also allows her to speak about subjects like depression, anxiety and infertility in a real and raw way'. O Magazine '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 'Funny, raunchy and unexpectedly uplifting... will leave you hoping that Lawson's next book happens, and soon'. People Magazine 'Zany... hilarious... takes cues from the memoirs of Tina Fey and David Sedaris'.

The best and funniest parts of this memoir are the childhood reminiscences...but Lawson also wrings much amusement from the challenge of balancing her eccentricities with the demands of being grown up and having a family of her own' The Herald 'Bawdy, irreverent, searingly honest, big and loud... she keeps her readers in stitches'. The Huffington Post 'A skewering, but deeply affectionate portrait of her family, in the vein of David Sedaris... blends surprising honesty with acerbic wit'.
