Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #347: Broken (in the best possible way) by Jenny Lawson

 



Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with "Can't-Wait Wednesday" hosted over at Wishful Endings.


From the Publisher:

As Jenny Lawson’s hundreds of thousands of fans know, she suffers from depression. In Broken, she explores her experimental treatment of transcranial magnetic stimulation with brutal honesty. But also with brutal humor. Jenny discusses the frustration of dealing with her insurance company in “An Open Letter to My Insurance Company,” which should be an anthem for anyone who has ever had to call their insurance company to try and get a claim covered. She tackles such timelessly debated questions as “How do dogs know they have penises?” We see how her vacuum cleaner almost set her house on fire, how she was attacked by three bears, business ideas she wants to pitch to Shark Tank, and why she can never go back to the post office. Of course, Jenny’s long-suffering husband Victor—the Ricky to Jenny’s Lucille Ball—is present throughout.

A treat for Jenny Lawson’s already existing fans, and destined to convert new ones, Broken is a beacon of hope and a wellspring of laughter.

Broken (in the best possible way) by Jenny Lawson is expected out April 6th, 2021 from Henry Holt and Company.

Why am I waiting on this book? I liked Jenny's other books Let's Pretend This Never Happened and Furiously Happy as well as her coloring book. I also regularly read her blog. She is more often than not funny even when tackling serious subject matter.That's not to say she doesn't have a serious side, because she does. But no matter how she's writing, it's worth reading.

What book are you waiting on this week? Share it or a link in the comments so we can check it out and maybe add it to our TBR lists. Thanks for coming by and Happy Reading!

  1. I adore Jenny Lawson. I still haven't listened to Furiously Happy and need to. I loved Let's Pretend This Never Happened. I had no idea she had a new book coming out. I need this one! I hope you love it when you read it.
