Review: Let's Pretend This Never Happened:

Let's Pretend This Never Happened: by Jenny Lawson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Read by the author, this audiobook reads like a comedy performance, rather like Carrie Fischer's audiobook "Wishful Drinking", but not as insightful. That is, the work is full of chuckles but not enlightenment. Her far flung jaunts into self-deprecation are often embarrasing, like a Chelsea Handler memoir. Then, suddenly she will deep dive into a painfully personal moment, like cancer or death of pet, but with no artful segue or edifying conclusion.

There's a substantial amount of extra material self-deprecating the audiobook production process, much of it sounding extemporaneous.
