She imagines herself as a naturally shitty person with a cynical, self-hatful attitude towards her own conduct. She focusses more on what she and other shouldn't do that she ignores what all of us could be doing to be better. It's interesting to read her story, both as a unique individual and as a time capsule for 2013. I get the impression that everyone felt the ways she did in this book and that's why it was so popular. I'm glad that mental health has been taken more seriously now and that people are resorting towards real solutions for their problems, not some homebrew, pessimistic philosophy of "I'm an awful person, but everyone and everything else is so pathetic, naive, worthless, and futile that I cannot help but laugh at the absurdity of everything as a superficial means to cope."

The Goose Story and Thoughts and Feelings made me laugh harder than I have in a long time. The drawings are hilarious. Not sure who to recommend this book to but maybe check out the blog at http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/p/store.html to see if it makes you laugh.

 Brosh has an odd way of looking at the world and an uncanny ability to write about her personal — and specific — circumstances so that those of us who are even more odd can identify. ... Think of Brosh as a visceral, brutally honest David Sedaris — with badly drawn images — and buy this book. It would be easy to dismiss Brosh as unnecessarily self-deprecating. But it seems that it’s the sheer intensity of her critical self-consciousness and conscious self-criticalness that people have connected with so deeply. By revealing the selfish grotesqueness of everyday humanity, the stories encourage us to become more reflexive of our inherent flaws, which can be both productive and humbling. And also, it would be nothing short of ironic to criticise Brosh for her almost complete lack of subtlety when the premise of the book is embedded right there in the title: it’s all about hyperbole.
