When Jenny Lawson is anxious, one of the things she does is to draw. Elaborate doodles, beautiful illustrations, often with captions that she posts online. At her signings, fans show up with printouts of these drawings for Jenny to autograph. And inevitably they ask her when will she publish a whole book of them. That moment has arrived. You Are Here is something only Jenny could create. A combination of inspiration, therapy, coloring, humor, and advice, this book is filled with Jenny's amazingly intricate illustrations, all on perforated pages that can be easily torn out, hung up, and shared. Drawing on the tenets of art therapy-which you can do while hiding in the pillow fort under your bed- You Are Here is ready to be made entirely your own. Some of the material is dark, some is light; some is silly and profane and irreverent. Gathered together, this is life, happening right now, all around, in its messy glory, as only Jenny Lawson could show us. Reviews: We're living in an era of bestselling books by female comedians… But Lawson's book needs no lovable, familiar face on the front cover…She's unapologetic, candid, outrageous, and the book reaches new levels of hilarity because of it. -Entertainment Weekly (A) "Jenny made me laugh so hard I feared for my safety! I think that's how she was able to get past my defenses and make me feel more okay about myself." -Allie Brosh "You'll laugh, wince, writhe in discomfort, cry, then laugh again…But the two things you'll never do is doubt Jenny's brilliance or her fearlessness…She's changing the conversation one rented sloth at a time." -Brené Brown About the Author: Jenny Lawson, the Bloggess, has over 460,000 Twitter followers, over 156,000 Facebook fans, her blog gets 1-2 million pageviews per month, and her social media presence continues to grow.
