Like Mindy Kaling meets Hyperbole and a Half, I Really Didn't Think
This Through gets at the heart of what makes life both so challenging
and so joyful--figuring out how to be a person in the world.
Did you ever wish your best friend--the person you would trust with your
innermost secrets, the person whose wisdom and comfort you seek in times
of stress or self-doubt--could draw?Armed with her beloved
illustrations, popular Instagram artist Beth Evans tackles a range of
issues--from whimsical musings to deeply personal struggles--in this
imaginative anti-guide to being your own person.
This book is a compendium of Beth's collected wisdom and stories,
interwoven with her tremendously popular and loveable illustrations. The
book is a wonderful mix of fun (playful meditations on the band Rush and
international pen-pals) and thoughtful (Beth delves into her personal
history with obsessive compulsive disorder and depression while
commiserating on topics like dating and credit card shame) all with a
simple candor that anyone from a teen to their grandparent can relate
to. Through all of her experiences, Beth manages to extract valuable
lessons, and the book is replete with friendly advice about caring for
yourself, getting help no matter what your problems are, and embracing
what makes you happy. Beth is a compelling storyteller, her drawings
picking up where her words leave off, creating an approachable and
immersive experience for the reader. Beth's work feels like a hug from
your best friend. And like a best friend, she's here to say "You got
this!"
