Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) 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.

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
This was HILARIOUS. There were several times where I literally ended up in tears because of some of the random things that happened to her and how she presents them. The book was a little disjointed though because she'd go off on some random tangent before getting back to the main part of the story, but I actually think I liked it that way. It showed how her mind works and I can definitely relate to her to some extent. Fans of her blog will definitely want to read this!
