This is a graphic memoir written by a comedic blogger, divided into chapters that retell various life experiences in words and digital drawings, ranging from sibling relationships to unruly dogs to childhood memories to unconventional methods of dealing with depression. Brosh has experienced depression throughout her life, and this is a topic she digs into candidly in her book.
Selected chapters of this book could be used as brief, accessible readings in a class on mental illness or in a training for health care providers. A follow up assignment could invite students to make graphic narratives of their own and could invite discussion of how humor can be used to make difficult topics less taboo.
