She spends much time talking about mental illness and embracing a diagnosis in a way that allows her to protect and understand herself and reach out to others. It’s you’re going to write a memoir, though, readers are asking you to go to those hard places. In my review of Let’s Pretend this Never Happened, I complained that Lawson mentioned huge topics (like anorexia) and then ran from them, like digging deep into a certain topic was too hard. Again, Lawson include fights with head-shaking husband Victor (I’m so glad they didn’t divorce I was sure they would), and there are mentions of daughter Hailey, but Lawson respects her child’s privacy and mostly leaves Hailey out of it.
Furiously Happy at times felt like commentary on what’s up with people today while remaining true to the memoir genre. As a result, the stories are contemporary and do make reference to current cultural markers. This time, she got it down to somewhere around three. Last time, Lawson spent ten years composing a single memoir. Honestly, I couldn’t quit calling the book FUR-iously Happy thanks to that thrilled corpse.

Like most people, I had to immediately get my hands on Lawson’s brand new memoir, Furiously Happy (Flatiron Books, Sept. Since then, my number of visitors to Grab the Lapels has increased by a lot (though I will admit someone was earnestly looking for “Steven Hawkings Wife” and found me). Last week, I reviewed Jenny Lawson’s first memoir, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir).
