Solutions and Other Problems by Allie Brosh

For fans of Hyperbole and a Half comes this better late than never follow up, with seven years of thoughtful and random musings.
Some themes include:
Childhood memories
Mental health
Death and grief
Serious health issues
Starting over and dealing with life changes
Pets and animals
Perhaps not as funny as Brosh's first book, but still worth a read for fans of comic style memoirs and musings. As my list of themes probably reveals, there are some serious and deeply emotional things being grappled with on these pages, and I found those pieces raw, intimate, and touching to read. If that's not your thing, not to worry, plenty of pages also did make me smile and one story in particular had me in stitches. I didn't blow my mind, but I do confidently recommend it anyway.
