A relatable memoir that is honest about the things that make life hard to get through, while reflecting on the "bright spots" that peek through the darkness.

I love laughing out loud, and this book helped me do it. The art is on point. Her stories are amusing. Her life experiences are humbling. idk, if you want to know what vulnerability looks like, this book is raw.

Like Hyperbole and A Half, this is a mixture of very serious and very silly topics. Some chapters made me laugh out loud and others were really poignant but there were quite a few which didn't work for me as much as I'd hoped. Overall I didn't enjoy it as much as Hyperbole and A Half but it still had the same heart and was worth the read for the stories I did like.

No one can make you laugh and sob simultaneously quite like Allie Brosh.

Her art style lends to a silly playfulness, and it's all a good time when its about how silly dogs and cats are, or how crazy children can be. But then the blobby pink persona starts talking about death, and loneliness, and heartbreak. And you just sit there and contemplate your own pointless little weirdo existence.

Anyway I love these books so much.
