Status Updates From Solutions and Other Problems

I think this is one of the best books I've read this year. I just finished the chapter where she decides that just like you can build muscles, you can do reps and build up emotional tolerance. So she does some drugs, watches a bunch of horror movies, takes more drugs and then walks out into the wilderness. Extremely funny and personal which is the best way to describe this book

I've cried laughing at least 3 times so far.

Taking this one slow; I’ve waited years for it!

This might be hard to believe, but the reason this happened is because I was trying to be a good person. I do not know what I am doing at all, but I’m trying REALLY hard. And trying really hard when you don’t know what you’re doing just happens to be the exact recipe for acting like a fuckin’ weirdo.

It just keeps getting better.

It was awesome. Funny and brilliant and emotional. A must for dog lovers.

Construct reminds me a lot of Hannah Gadsby’s show, Douglas. It’s weirdly specific and similar.

Omg this is fantastic!

Is this the funniest thing I've read since Hyperbole and a Half? Yes, yes it is.

"Fairness" is another great chapter. Allie and I have a similar sense of justice. Some comics/trains of thought seem a bit disjointed in other chapters. It could be the format I'm reading in (black and white, library rental on Kobo Clara), so it's probably just me.

i turned the page and saw astronaut hammer man and snort laughed too hard and now the back of my throat hurts!

In the midst of all that is going on in the world, it feels so good to laugh while reading. Definitely worth the wait.

I just started flipping through and I’m already exploding in laughter. She dog storied are the best.

I’m at the loving kindness meditation chapter and it is 3am and I cannot stop fucking laughing at the grocery store clerk who knits in her imagination 😂😂😂 sorry neighbors.

I'm shaking from laughing and holding back tears in the space of twenty pages wtf.

I decided not to keep going. DNF

The only good thing so far in 2020- f*ing hilarious

honestly don't know where I am in this right now but I'm loving every minute and I will continue to savor each story

OMG,‘I haven’t laughed this hard in sooo long! Between the illustrations and her writing, Allie is the best story-teller on the planet.

Purposely reading slow to savor every page 💙

These stories are hilarious!! Like tears streaming down my face hilarious!!

This was one of the most accurate depictions of grief I’ve ever seen, and it came RIGHT after a part about a fight over bananas that had me laughing so hard I thought I was gonna crack a rib. I missed you, Allie Brosh!

I’m laughing so hard my throat hurts.

For a memoir/graphic novel Brosh is a remarkable storyteller. Girl has seen some serious $hit since her last amazing book and her writing brings us along for the trip down memory lane while adding a lens of humor in hindsight. Brilliant...but not a quick read if you hunker down and really digest what she writes.

This book is so heavy I can only hold it up a little while.

When someone's exploration of their grief can make you laugh, you know they're talented.

Brosh's ability to be relatable extends to grief too. The chapter about her sister's death connected me to so many emotions I've felt before, even if I've never been through what she has.

"Where is there to go from here that wouldn't feel like a catastrophic downgrade? I'm a tragic, greedy animal with too many dreams to be satisfied by reality. I want to know what everything cool feels like. I want to ride dragons into battle. I want to be important. I want to know what it would be like if everybody believed in me... I want to be brave like a gladiator. I want to be powerful like a god."

Brosh's ability to display her childhood self as a half-feral child-animal is to be commended

Allie Brosh's comedy is just so good
