My Review:
A refreshing, real life take on mental illness and the funny things that make life worth living.
Lawson's book kept me laughing from the first chapter until the last page. The author shares hilarious episodes that bring on the tears from too much laughing but also gut punches you with the heartache of her illnesses. The book made me examine my own mental health history and where I can find the laughter in it.
Hilarious and enjoyable read. This was well written with vulnerability that you know you aren't alone in your hardships in life and can look back on every moment and see the beauty. I look forward to reading more of her books.
