Comparing this book to her previous one, Hyperbole and a Half, I'd say that this one has a darker undercurrent. Brosh has lived through some really tough years since Hyperbole was published, and it shows. I'm grateful to her for sharing these experiences—folks with depression and mental health struggles will definitely identify with some of the feelings she describes. (But again I will say: chapter 10 is a hard one, so if you're not in a solid place mentally, maybe wait and revisit that one when you're feeling more stable.)
The one small thing I didn't totally love was the way some of the chapters just seemed to... end. There was no feeling of conclusion, like Brosh wasn't quite sure what the point of the story was or what she wanted to say by sharing it.
But overall, I recommend this graphic memoir, especially if you're already a fan of Allie Brosh and her work. It's one I plan to treasure and revisit.
