Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir opens Goodreads in a new tab

My thoughts

2/5stars You should just accept who you are, flaws and all, because if you try to be someone you aren't, then eventually some turkey is going to shit all over your well-crafted facade, so you might as well save yourself the effort and enjoy your zombie books. I had read Furiously Happy by the author last year and really liked the bizarreness of it (review here- https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3678460728) but this one was just not it. I mean it felt very forced and overdone and while i did chuckle a few times, that's the most of it sadly. And the whole subplot of her having a "wild west" lifestyle (which I guess was supposed to be quirky and special and unique) was just very normal and everyday stuff for me (and I am sure for other people outside America, too) So, while there are a lot of "controversial" jokes and "witty" one-liners, this just didn't work as much for me. If someone asked me to pick out my own vagina’s mug shot out of a lineup of vaginas, I’d be helpless. And probably concerned about what exactly my vagina had been doing that constituted a need for its own mug shot. ^yupp, this book should have been called a Memoir of my Vagina maybe :P (considering the number of times Jenny mentions her vagina)
