Solutions and Other Problems
by Allie Brosh
This was absolutely fantastic. It made me laugh until I cried (the poop mystery will live with me FOREVER), then cry for real, all within the span of a single reading session.
Brosh goes deep here, even deeper than she did in Hyperbole and a Half, and the book is all the better for it. She never hesitates to lay it all out there. The pains, the losses, the agony of loneliness, and the necessity to become your own friend. It’s all just so...true. And there’s very little veneer on it. It’s just raw and on the page and either painfully hilarious or just painful.
I can’t imagine being a longtime dedicated reader of Brosh’s work and having an agonizing wait for a new book (not to say that authors should bow to the whims of the readers and deliver books all the time — just that a ravenous audience will await new books with bated breath!). I count myself lucky that I’ve only just started reading her work and so there was no wait at all, but clearly, I think it was all worth it to get this incredibly honest yet hysterical book.
