dark emotional funny fast-paced

4.5

I love laughing out loud, and this book helped me do it. The art is on point. Her stories are amusing. Her life experiences are humbling. idk, if you want to know what vulnerability looks like, this book is raw.

Like Hyperbole and A Half, this is a mixture of very serious and very silly topics. Some chapters made me laugh out loud and others were really poignant but there were quite a few which didn't work for me as much as I'd hoped. Overall I didn't enjoy it as much as Hyperbole and A Half but it still had the same heart and was worth the read for the stories I did like.

tracey1981's review against another edition

funny lighthearted sad medium-paced

4.5

Several of the sections of this graphic memoir had me laughing out loud…a LOT! Some were also very moving, and a couple were just ok. I appreciated the range of this book and Brosh’s sense of humour and her descriptions of grief and depression really worked for me. I don’t remember what made Brosh’s previous book only 3 stars for me so I’m not sure if this was just the right time and place for me to read this or if something about this one was better. Regardless, I look forward to more!
