Broken - Jenny Lawson

Review 'Sunday Morning With Jim Mora' 5 September

The instant New York Times Bestseller from the author of Furiously Happy and Let's Pretend This Never Happened.

Hilarious, heart-warming and honest, Broken (in the best possible way) is about living, surviving, and thriving with anxiety.

As Jenny Lawson's hundreds of thousands of fans know, she suffers from depression. In Broken, Jenny humanizes what we all face in an all-too-real way, reassuring us that we're not alone and making us laugh while doing it. 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, 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 when we all need it most.
