Lawson realized that the most mortifying moments of our lives—the ones we'd like to pretend never happened—are the ones that define us. In Let's Pretend This Never Happened, she takes readers on a journey recalling her bizarre upbringing in rural Texas, her devastatingly awkward high school years, and her relationship with her long-suffering husband, Victor. Chapters include: "Stanley the Magical, Talking Squirrel"; "A Series of Angry Post-It Notes to My Husband"; "My Vagina Is Fine. Thanks for Asking"; "And Then I Snuck a Dead Cuban Alligator on an Airplane."
