Solutions and Other Problems by Allie Brosh

The end was just what I needed, though didn’t know it, which is generally how I feel about most of Brosh’s work. I’m thankful that she continues to put emotionally messy art into the world in a comedic yet insightful way.

I laughed. I cried. I want to give Allie a hug. This was so good.

I loved Allie Brosh's blog and her first book, Hyperbole and a Half and anxiously awaited her next release. She is extremely funny and though she touched on serious topics in the past (like her struggles with clinical depression), mostly her cartoons made me cackle with laughter. I don't know if I've changed or the tone of this book was more serious, but I did not personally enjoy it as much as her other work. I don't blame her for being more serious - in fact, I think she is very brave to discuss her sister's suicide, her divorce, and her parents' divorce. But even the lighter cartoons didn't do it for me. Just a few laughs here and there.

emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective relaxing sad fast-paced

This book was an absolute delight! Allie Brosh has a way of communicating her experiences so vividly through her words and her illustrations. I’ve never read sentences or seen cartoons styled quite like this, and they really pack a punch, for the hilarious, the tragic, and the poignant. I laughed out loud more at this book than I have in years. Genuinely moving and absolutely brilliant, could not recommend more highly.

This was amazing - it made me laugh out loud so hard that literal tears rolled down my cheeks, at a time when I was flu-y and in the middle of a covid scare.
