I hate it when people say a book made them laugh and cry - but this gem of a book actually achieves this cliché response. Brosh's hysterical memories of herself as a child, as well as her confrontations with a very determined young neighbor, just cracked me up, while tragic moments, like her sister's suicide in the midst of the author's own health scare, are just heartbreaking. A blurb on the book suggests Brosh's work is like if "David Sedaris could draw," and that's pretty damn apt. I really enjoyed Brosh's first book, "Hyperbole and a Half," which focused on her battles with depression, but I liked this book even more for its broader range, both in terms of content and emotion. One of my favorites of this year.

As someone with a quirky imagination and sense of humor, I enjoyed this book. Some stories made me laugh so much, I had trouble reading them aloud to family.

A brilliant follow-up to the original.
Allie Brosh is a storytelling genius. I truly believe she could turn any mundane day into an entire book full of stories that would grip you and never let you go.

I am fascinated by the gloriously weird mind captured on the pages of this book. Weird in all the best ways! Her stories are hilarious, as are the drawings. Will read anything she creates.
Perfect graphic novel for when I'm home recovering from the covid vaccine
