Hyperbole and a Half

This book was hilarious! It isn't a memoir in a traditional sense, both because it's in graphic novel form and because it contains short stories of the author's life, ranging from childhood into her adult life and marriage. It contains laugh-out-loud stories about her dogs (Simple Dog and Helper Dog), getting lost in the wilderness as a child, and a wild animal attack.

Brosh also shares deep feelings about her battle with depression and her self-doubt. Several stories almost brought me to tears because they were so raw and honest. I saw a bit of myself in her and have gained a deeper respect for her ability to be so honest about what she sees as her flaws.

I'd highly recommend this book to anyone!
