Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir by Jenny Lawson

3.0

There is no doubt that Jenny Lawson is freaking hilarious. I laughed out loud and I really enjoyed listening to it.

But. I know she qualified this books as a "mostly" true memoir so I'm not saying I have a problem with her sincerity or that she lied or anything like that. But I get annoyed when things are deliberately exaggerated just for comic effect and I feel like there was a lot of that here. I think her stories would have been funny and endearing enough all on their own without an attempt to make them funnier. I don't know if listening to the audio version exacerbated this - sometimes I felt just by the tone of her voice that certain parts were supposed to be punchline moments.

But overall, highly entertaining and worth the read. I just wish I hand spent so much of it wondering which parts were true and which were exaggerated.
