Not a great year for getting reading done, so if I finished a book this last year, it was either very good, or extremely my shit. This is the former, rather than the latter. I'm not usually into autobiographical meditations on mental health or the absurdity of mortality, or grappling with the unfairness of why things happen to people.

But if you think those things wouldn't absolutely destroy you, this is an attempt to engage with those things humanely and hopefully.

What's the point of a review? I loved it, I read the whole thing on my ipad in bed in about two hours last night, it's very good and scratched all of the Allie Brosh itches that we've been experiencing for the last seven years.

I most enjoyed the story about conquering her fears with exposure therapy. And only our Allie would come up with the exact strategy for exposure therapy that she employed.

In conclusion, good stuff. You should read it, especially if you liked [b:Hyperbole and a Half|17571564|Hyperbole and a Half Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened|Allie Brosh|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1409522492l/17571564.SY75.jpg|24510592] in either book or blog form.
