![]() ![]() This time around, I cannot wait for more of Andersen’s comics!ĪRC kindly provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Particularly the addition at the end of personal essays combined with comics were surprisingly fun to read. Overall, I was more than surprised by how much I enjoyed Big Mushy Happy Lump. I snorted at the description of “a greasy onion.” “Let’s just cuddle in spirit” made me burst into laughter. This genuinely happened to me today!! And I was stunned when I read the lyrics and discovered how they didn’t fit my expectations in the least. ![]() ![]() Reminded me of the song Take a Hint from the show Victorious. So without further ado, here are some of my favorite pieces: These new comics (and illustrated personal essays!) follow the ups and downs of the unrelenting self-esteem roller coaster that is young adult life: budgeting woes, cramps, the nuances of sweather theft, and the joy of staying home all day with a box of pizza. Sarah Andersen’s second collection picks up right where the first left off–huddled under a pile of blankets avoiding the responsibilities of the real world. I also found Big Mushy Happy Lump a lot more enjoyable and relatable than Andersen’s previous collection, so that left me with an ever bigger smile plastered on my face. I was mentally and emotionally spent after having read Hannah Kent’s Burial Rites, so this comic collection fit perfectly for my need of something light and easy to cheer me up. ![]()
