Welcome to Book Interrupted, a book club for busy people to connect and one that celebrates life’s interruptions.
In this episode of Book Interrupted, the book club dives into Solutions and Other Problems by Allie Brosh—Meredith’s pick and the group’s second graphic novel read.
From laugh-out-loud moments to head-scratching confusion, the members share their mixed reactions to Brosh’s unique blend of awkward comedy and heartfelt storytelling. Did it hit the mark, or just feel... weird? One member couldn’t even finish the book—can you guess who?
The conversation also explores personal stories that mirror the book’s themes, as the group reflects on how they connected (or didn’t) with the tales within its pages. Ashley gushes over the expressive artwork, especially the characters’ faces and emotions, while several members are newly inspired to explore more graphic novels—an unexpected twist, especially after their lukewarm response to their first graphic novel pick.
