Hilarious stories about life's mishaps from the creator of the immensely popular blog 'Hyperbole and a Half'. Fully illustrated with over 50% new material.

Hyperbole and A Half is a blog and webcomic written by a 20-something American girl called Allie Brosh. She tells fantastically funny, wise stories about the mishaps of her everyday life, with titles like 'Why Dogs Don't Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving' and 'The God of Cake'..

Brosh's website receives millions of visitors a month and hundreds of thousands per day. Now her full-colour debut book chronicles the many 'learning experiences' Brosh has endured as a result of her own character flaws. It includes stories about her rambunctious childhood; the highs and mostly lows of owning a mentally challenged dog; and a moving and darkly comic account of her struggles with depression.

'Quirky and captivating' Observer
'It's impossible not to warm to cartoonist and blogger Allie. If she doesn't get to you with her funny childhood anecdotes (eating an entire birthday cake) then her honest reflections on depression will' Grazia

About the author

Alexandra Brosh

Allie Brosh is a 26-year-old American who blogs as Hyperbole and a Half. She was conceived artificially and then gestated and born in 1985 to a hippie mother who wouldn't let her watch TV. She spent most of her childhood running around barefoot in the woods 'like a goddamn wild animal'. After graduating college with a degree in human biology, her original career goal was to become a medical researcher and save the world from cancer but she gave that up to run long distances for prize money. After injuring her Achilles jumping over a log, she spent a great deal of time sitting on her couch wrapped up in a blanket like a burrito, trying to keep her ADHD-addled mind busy by writing and drawing. Her blog receives between 6 and 10 million visits every month. She lives in Oregon with her fiancée and her mentally challenged dog.
