Broken (in the Best Possible Way) (by Jenny Lawson)
I’m so grateful that Jenny Lawson continues to share her gift of humor as she opens-up to readers about coping with depression and anxiety. Broken (in the Best Possible Way) is an excellent addition to her previous books, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened and Furiously Happy. In Broken, Jenny keeps inquiring minds up to date with stories of hilarious life moments that had me laughing until I cried. She also shares very serious stories that drive home the real struggles of depression. I appreciate her transparency and advocacy for all people. It’s obvious that she is a very kind, caring person.
I own a signed copy of Broken that I picked up at my local independent bookstore, Joseph-Beth Booksellers, when this book was released. I chose to listen to the audiobook because Jenny narrates, and it’s the best possible way to enjoy her stories. At the end of the audiobook, she tells how she recorded the book in her closet because it was during the pandemic. I remember seeing her social posts about that experience. Speaking of social media, I follow Jenny on Instagram and X and love her posts. If you don’t already, give her a follow on your preferred platform.
My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Jenny Lawson when she was on book tour for You Are Here: An Owner’s Manual for Dangerous Minds. My author event blog post is linked below for your convenience. She is just as wonderful in person!
