Description
Every time Allie Brosh posted a new piece on her beloved blog Hyperbole and a Half, the internet erupted—and now her breakout book brings that voice to the page in full color. Featuring new content, this expanded edition includes ten never-before-seen essays, a fully revised and expanded piece, and fan favorites such as “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and the groundbreaking essays “Adventures in Depression” and “Depression Part Two,” widely praised for their honesty and insight.
With minimalist illustrations and brutally funny observations, Brosh explores dogs, cake, growing up, emotional chaos, and the strange logic of the human mind. Her work manages to be laugh-out-loud hilarious while also offering one of the most relatable and accessible portrayals of depression ever written.
Funny, smart, and emotionally resonant, this illustrated essay collection launched Allie Brosh as a major voice in American humor and remains a defining work of contemporary humor.

What I really liked about this book was the balance of pictures and text. It's funny written, absolutely adorable, trashy drawn in a way that nobody cares about how it looks because it weirdly fits so well with the funniness of the book. There are parts that were absolutely sad – and stayed sad. Which is a good thing because it gave the book the depth it needed to be taken seriously. That you could see that you could lighten up even the worst and saddest story if you let it be for some time (Okay, this is getting way too deep – let's move on). Loved it, would recommend it and also would read it again!
Bloody brilliant! I absolutely loved this book! It was so funny and literally made me laugh out loud at several occasions (note: do not read in public if you tend to laugh like a maniac at funnily written/drawn stuff). The drawings were so trashy and looked so "bad" that they made the story even more funny than it already was. At some parts the story was weirdly relatable to me (especially the part about rules)! Oh and only halfway through did I realize that she's the one who drew the "do all the things" meme. You're a legend Allie! Would definitely recommend if you want to read something lighthearted, funny and quick :)
