Okay, this one was fucking sad. But in a good way? But also not? TW: existential despair.
I’ve been waiting on this sequel for a hot minute and I got my hands on this as soon as I could. This sequel did not disappoint and it cleared up a lot of worries and wondering I had with the author and where she had disappeared to for so long. You’ll laugh, you might cry, you’ll laugh some more(even at the sad parts because I too use humor as a coping mechanism)! Don’t question in, go ahead and buy it or check it out from the library. It’s a quick, fun, thoughtful read :)
Allie Brosh is a master of gallows humor. As in her previous book, she uses deceptively simple drawings to convey the absurdity of humans, animals, and life in general. Unfortunately life has not been kind to her - she almost died, and then her sister died suddenly and horribly, and then her parents split up, and she divorced her husband. She doesn't exactly dwell on any of this in detail; this book feels more like an expression of her ensuing nihilism/existentialism. The theme of the book is that nothing makes sense and life has no purpose, but we may as well plow on anyway. In my opinion it's not as funny as her first book, but it is funny. Her work is like nothing else, and I am glad there is more of it.

Once again Allie Brosh has made me laugh until I cried and cry until I laughed. I highly recommend both this book and her previous book. She makes you think and have fun doing it.

It's like Allie Brosh climbed in my brain with Hyperbole and a Half. I gobbled this book up like candy, reading it in one sitting. Her descriptions of what dogs are thinking are my favorite (obvs).
Funny and heartbreaking and all the other feelings too.
I didnt realize how much I needed this book. Allie Brosh shares even more stories from her life that made me feel so many things. The stories from her childhood where she keeps trying to fit herself into a car wash bucket and where she sneaks into her neighbors house to steal his cat had me cracking up. And when she opened the bandaid covering the tragedies she has experienced since her last book, I felt like I was closer to an author than Ive ever been. So many of her actions dont seem to make sense and yet they are so real because life doesnt make sense. Through the lens of comedy, Brosh exposes some deeply philosophical notions of the world and by the end, I feel like I not only know her better, I know myself better too.
