Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson

My book club group decided to read Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson.  I thought it was a hoot!  She says out loud what some of us just think!  As I've always said, I'm not a professional reviewer, I just like to write and have fun.  I hope that Jenny Lawson would appreciate my attempt at a rhyming review:

Lawson gives us a look into her life.
I'm thinking Victor must really love his wife.
The parts where I howled the most were early on,
that isn't a con.
The language she uses isn't for the faint of heart,
but I'm still glad I read it in whole and part.
She is a woman of great passions
and I was glad she didn't dwell on fashions.
I don't want to say anything bad about Jenny
because I don't want her to come after me with a machete!
There were serious times interwoven throughout the tale.
We got to see pictures of Beyonce the rooster bought on sale.
Her photos from past and present were a nice touch.
We got to see the people mentioned and such.
I loved her letters and post-its!
When Jenny wrapped up her dishwasher, that gave me fits!
If laughter is good for the soul,
then that woman is whole!
