Furiuosly Happy

This is the best book cover ever. What made the book, was that she mentioned the cover. What made it even better is that the cover picture is of a real taxidermied racoon (minus the sparkles)!

It's all in the book.

Did not finish.

Manic parentheticals make this book tedious to me. Its style is similar to Lauren Graham's "Talking as Fast as I Can," but with less skill.

Her sense of humor doesn't work for me: it's simple, praise-seeking, and not funny or clever.

This was simultaneously SUPER hard to listen to and an absolute delight to listen to anyway.

I was lucky enough for most of my life to have almost no dealings with depression, but when I met my wife, I found that the downside to that happy ignorance was that I was terrible at supporting her during her worst moments. I've learned a lot since, and I'd like to think I'm better at this now, but books like this make me uncomfortably aware of how much better I need to be for the person I love.
