My present to myself ... so why wait for my birthday to open it? I'm reading it NOW! Some of these essays I remember from the site, others are new to me - I haven't read every single thing Ms Brosh has posted, so I can't tell if these are never-before-seen, or if I just missed them. IF YOU LOVE HYPERBOLE AND A HALF, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK. IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF HYPERBOLE AND A HALF, BUT THIS COVER LOOKS INTERESTING, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK.

Kids are weird, and I'd like to thank Allie Brosh for reminding me of that. Kids are weird, dogs make no sense, and a little self-knowledge goes a long way.
This book is hilarious, heartbreaking, honest, and all the other things people have been saying about it (ALL the things! See what I did there? Sure you did).

I can not explain how much this book spoke to me. Brosh writes about her life, her depression, and the world around her in such a way that I feel like she could be talking directly to me. I love this book and I love her. I wish there were more stars.

Seriously, why are you reading this review? You should run right out and get this book! It's a pale substitute for the years when Alli Brosh regularly updated her site. Still, I'm thrilled that her book exists, and it's funny as hell.

One of my favorite blogs and the book did not disappoint. She's so hilarious and I could totally relate to her stories. And, of course, the illustrations are hysterical!

Just read it. If you are human. If you like dogs. If you wonder WTF you're doing much of the time. If you like to laugh at the darkness. Just read it.

5 stars for hilarity. Had me in tears multiples times.
