It has memoirs that will make you laugh out loud, which is potentially hazardous when you are only holding on to the elliptical with one hand. It also has some touching moments with stories that will cut you to the core. Fennelly is candid and vulnerable, while still finding a way to delight you with her stories. Memoirs like this can easily get too personal, but Fennelly straddles the line well.

Lawson has a great voice in this book. I love how she forces you to see the humor in even the most traumatic of events. She's right in the beginning wLawson has a great voice in this book. I love how she forces you to see the humor in even the most traumatic of events. She's right in the beginning when she states that some of this you won't believe actually happened, but it's just so crazy that it has to have happened. Can't wait to read Furiously Happy....more
