Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh
2.0
Yeah, it was ok. If you've never read her stuff, do check this out. If you have, probably you don't need to read the book.
I love Allie Brosh. I do. And I knew this was going to have a lot of stuff I'd already read in the blog (but ages ago! I waited so long to read this partly in hopes of forgetting that stuff so it'd be fresh again!). I think all I wanted was one solid LOL from a bit I didn't remember reading before. The goose story came close, but didn't get there. And the new introspective bits weren't as insightful as the posts on depression I'd already seen online.
So now I feel like I've let down someone I've never met because I didn't like Allie's book, but at least this feels like a problem she'd have sympathy for.
