This was entertaining and funny--as much as books being frank about mental illness can be, that is. I didn't enjoy this as much as I've enjoyed Jenny Lawson's two books. Couldn't figure it out until last night: Amanda's book is more a discussion about mental illness, which was something I needed to read right now; Jenny's books are more character pieces with mental illness as part of the character/story.
I'm happy I bought this one instead of borrowing from the library like I usually do. There's more than one person I'd like to share this with.
