The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilariousauthor of Furiously Happy.

Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate.O, The Oprah Magazine

When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it.

In the irreverent Lets Pretend This Never Happened, Lawsons long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human momentsthe ones we want to pretend never happenedare the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.
