Book description
Every teenager wants to fit in and be just like everybody else. So
imagine how hard that is when your father runs a taxidermy business out
of the family home, your mother runs the student cafeteria, and your
sister has just been elected high school mascot, which means she walks
the halls in a giant bird costume. But as Jenny Lawson grows up, falls
in love, gets engaged - in a way that is as disastrous as it is romantic
- and starts a family of her own, she learns that life's most absurd and
humiliating moments, the ones we wish we could pretend had never
happened, are the very same moments that make us who we are. This is an
often poignant, sometimes disturbing, but always hilarious book from a
writer that dares to say your deepest and strangest thoughts out loud.
Like laughter at a funeral, it is both highly irreverent and impossible
to stop once you've started . . .
