Why Must Read Solutions and Other Problems?

Brosh examines a lot of the things that she doesn't seem to like about herself along with things that have happened in her life. The brutal honesty and pain represented in this book shockingly contrasts with some of the most pure and honest laughter I've experienced this year. Allie reminds me to see the pure absurdity of the world and know how funny it is. If her previous book was about a journey back from depression this book was a journey back from existentialism and self loathing. The stories are strung together in a sort of stream of consciousness way, if the conciousness you're streaming is anxious to give you all the pieces to put together the puzzle has been Brosh's life during her absence from the public view. I recognize the way her mind seems to bounce from idea to idea, pausing in the middle of a story to add related information, and returning when the pieces add up.
