Organized by what I’d say are illustrated autobiographical essays, each colored section is a story and most of the time, they don’t really have any relation. The sunshine yellow cover tricks you into thinking you’re just in for a bunch of laughs and that you won’t be reading it at 1am, tearing up, as you blubber, “Oh my god, that’s me.” When I finally got it, I was surprised by how big it is, at over 350 brightly colored pages. However, the book version of Hyperbole and a Half is more than just Brosh’s greatest hits, though those are also included in the book.īy now, the book is a few years old and it’s been on my TBR list for forever. At times, I’ll remember them and go back to the blog to read over her posts again. But her post regarding her struggles with depression have stuck with me all these years.
The creator, Allie Brosh, has inadvertently spawned memes (Clean all the things!) and viral sensations. I’ve been a longtime fan of Hyperbole and a Half back when it was being semi-regularly updated online.
(It’s exhausting sometimes, isn’t it?) So this May, I wanted to read something that I could identify with and that would allow me to further spotlight the importance of mental health discussions. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and I’m certainly no stranger to the trials and tribulations of keeping up with one’s own mental health, not to mention the mental health of my mother.
