Moving and delightful. Always a profound experience to spend some time in Allie Brosh's mind. This book made me feel less alone in my own.

I loved the original Hyperbole and a Half, so when I learned Brosh had a new book out buying it was a no-brainer. I recall laughing hysterically through most of HAAH, and went into Solutions and Other Problems expecting more of the same. What I encountered instead was something far more thoughtful and emotionally complex. Brosh perfectly captures the absurdity and tragedy of being alive, her illustrations (all 1,678 of them) each being worth a thousand words. Her tales of trying to befriend a sardine, of coping with a neighbour mysteriously hammering before 8am, and of experiencing profound loneliness, are all witty and poignant. Despite being eternally self deprecating, Brosh comes off as an incredibly likeable human being. She shares the stories of her life with an intimacy that makes it feel like she is confiding exclusively in you.
