emotional funny reflective medium-paced

5.0

I don't think a book has ever managed to make me laugh this hard before. The fact that it also delves unflinchingly into uncomfortable things (mental illness, grief, divorce) is frankly amazing. Allie Brosh is a gift to humanity.

Brosh's art style and storytelling are a good mix of laugh-out-loud funny, poignant, and thoughtful. I even shed a few tears. Overall, it was lovely and a nice break from some of the more serious books I've been reading!

hkburke2's review against another edition

dark emotional funny sad slow-paced

3.0

I like each vingette generally, but the randomness didn't connect for me, and I felt like I was missing the full arc for some of the memories (which is perhaps realistic but didn't keep me wanting to read more). Lots of emotions in this one, and some real poignancy. Interested to read the first one now. (Also may have been discouraged by how physically impossible this book was to hold/read... I don't recommend the hardcover!)

For lovers of Hyperbole and a Half,  all things funny, and a long cathartic cry!
