The Last Ride,” which closes the collection, is the very definition of a contemporary western in all the best ways. When one of Jenny Lawson's follow-up memoirs went on sale, I bought it immediately without even checking to see what it was about, because the warm, glowy feelings I had from FURIOUSLY were so strong. I sat out in the sun on my little balcony with coffee in my very comfortable Adirondack chair and ripped through these stories like a bullet through soggy drywall. The majority are quite funny, and sometimes completely absurd, such as the one with her e-mails with Master Paul of the Vampire Brotherhood and the chapter where she details the six times she lost her shoes while wearing them.

Long-suffering husband Victor and sister Lisa are back, as well as a cameo from the taxidermied mice of the first book, and a full contingent of bewildered new encounters. This makes Lawson's life challenging, but her medication - as well as her husband and daughter - help Jenny cope.For those familiar with her writing, its recommended and for those who want a good laugh, skip the chapters about anxiety. The single funniest essay is probably “Awkwarding Brought Us Together,” in which discusses dozens of responses she got on Twitter after she shared an awkward encounter she’d had at an airport. Paradise” is set in Hanalei, Hawaii in 2008, where Ben, Chon and O have traveled for a combined business and pleasure stay, and find that by their mere presence they have inadvertently upset the delicate ecology of the local drug trade. Jenny goes on to describe the transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) she received to relieve her psychiatric symptoms - treatments that are extensive and painful, but which helped. I loved both parts of the book equally, though the writing style and some of the chapters felt repetitive towards the end of the book.

This book could not have come at a better time for me as I am now entering my 5th week of lock-down here in Spain.The mix between these very funny sections and some really compelling, more serious sections was very effective and made for some moving reading. Jenny also talks about contracting tuberculosis because she takes immunosuppressant drugs for her rheumatoid arthritis; getting panic attacks; having childhood anxiety attacks that were so frequent her mother had to change jobs to work in her school; having regular suicidal thoughts; and experiencing extended periods of depression.

Here, in what the author describes as an "intermediate adventure," the three best friends are vacationing in Hawaii where they run into a battle with some local gangsters while attempting to expand their area of production. There were a few random sections throughout where she gets real and talks about her mental health issues that I thought were very good, but overall the book just felt very forced to me. Broken by Jenny Lawson oscillates between a real heart-wrenching picture of what it's like to live with depression and anxiety and an uproariously funny collection of observational and awkward humor.The Last Ride is a redemption story of sorts for the Trump supporter – did people really vote for kids in cages?
