Ahoy there mateys! I very much enjoyed this author’s book furiously happy and loved the messages about dealing with mental illness and happiness. This novel was her debut. I have to admit that while I did find the situations to be funny, this book’s writing style was a little harder to read. This book did not flow as nicely and rambled a bit too much for me taste. Plus there was an overall sadness under the laughter. I don’t think it was bad. I just think furiously happy was so much better. That said, I do very much enjoy the author’s zany take on life and her upbringing. Taxidermy, being a goth in Western Texas, digging up a dead pet, and lots of other silliness abound. I will certainly read more of the author’s works. Arrrr!
