Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened by Allie Brosh is a collection of hilarious short stories and essays about the author's life that range from her crazy antics as a child to her current outlook on life as an adult. I was a ...
I'm pleased to say I was pleasantly surprised by this lovely book. And, I get to count it towards my nonfiction goal! I have been hearing about Hyperbole and a Half for quite some time now, but really didn't know what to expect. It's actually quite funny (I find many books try to be but have a hard ...
