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.

No one can make you laugh and sob simultaneously quite like Allie Brosh.

Her art style lends to a silly playfulness, and it's all a good time when its about how silly dogs and cats are, or how crazy children can be. But then the blobby pink persona starts talking about death, and loneliness, and heartbreak. And you just sit there and contemplate your own pointless little weirdo existence.

Anyway I love these books so much.

I don't think a book has ever managed to make me laugh this hard before. The fact that it also delves unflinchingly into uncomfortable things (mental illness, grief, divorce) is frankly amazing. Allie Brosh is a gift to humanity.

This graphic novel memoir will give you all the emotions on the emotion wheel. Full spectrum of feels on this one! And it’s glorious. It’s absolutely masterful how incredibly funny and how fully heart-felt depression, death, humanity’s existence, self-discovery, and questioning yourself can be. Thank you Allie!
