Jenny Watson is the author of Furiously Happy; A Funny Book About Horrible Things. Jenny is quite open about her mental health. She has labels like anxiety, depression, and ADD. Her mother said she is just quirky and quirky is the right word. ADD is very apparent in her writing. Sometimes she writes discussions she has with her husband. He is loving and tolerant. I have worked with people who have untreated ADD and I find it to be a real struggle. Also, her dad is a taxidermist. She is into taxidermy which is the reason the stuffed, furiously happy raccoon is on the cover. She actually owns 2 stuffed raccoons and one bear head. This book is not for everyone. I enjoyed it but was not disappointed to come to the ending.
