3.5. Her cartoons are so poignant. They really convey a feeling. This is good and not so good, depending on the situation.
It’s hard to review this book. I think the best way I can explain it is, if someone were to hand me this book and _Hyperbole and a Half_ , and then asked me which was a comedy and which was a drama, I would have to give the comedy label to _Hyperbole_. That’s not to say this book isn’t sometimes funny, and that’s not to say this book has to always be funny. I guess it’s just my way of saying it’s not what I expected.
It was good to read some more content from Allie Brosh for the first time in a long time. I laughed out loud and I shed a tear. Sidenote, this book is very heavy, like weight-wise, not content-wise.
So funny in parts my abs hurt from laughing and husband kept asking if I was OK

I've been waiting for this book for 5 years (!!!!!) ever since I read her first book Hyperbole and a Half and I'm sad to say that this one did disappoint, but only a little bit! I found a couple of the stories quite absurd and they didn't really make sense and I'm certain she wrote them while high lmao but there were a couple of definite laugh out loud moments! My favourites were Dandelions and The Ultimate Plan. Hilarious.
trigger warnings: cancer scare, loss of loved one (suicide), divorce, death of a pet, vivid descriptions of being high, depression.

I laughed a lot, teared up some, and felt like someone in the world understood the harder to understand parts of my brain and experience. It was a salve.
