Jenny Lawson, BROKEN (IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY)

"These anonymous people who are struggling have no idea that they saved people's lives. I just think it really speaks to how wonderful it is when we can share our struggles and realize that we're not alone." Jenny Lawson talks with Zibby about the community that has formed in the comments sections of her blog, The Bloggess, and how their candor inspired her to write more openly about heavier topics like her depression and rheumatoid arthritis. The two also discuss what it has been like for Jenny to open up an independent bookstore in the middle of the pandemic and how she still meets with her fellow essayist friends (though it's not how you imagine).  Purchase the book on Amazon on Bookshop Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LLd6W Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3dyKU09  Now there's more!
