Rallison, best known for his webcomic and popular Youtube channel, brings his signature wit and quirk to his memoir. Featuring a mix of short essays and accompanying illustrations in his signature round-headed style, Rallison shares moments from life, with something for everyone who ever felt like they were the odd one out. Whether it's the general awkwardness and discomfort felt in a high-school locker room, or the mixed blessing that is having a cool older sibling, Rallison finds the humor and dives right in. It may be hard to imagine the relevance of a memoir by a 21-year-old, but Rallison's focus on the things that are big parts of a young person's life school, sibling relationships, family pets is relatable even to those of us who are well past our own first 20 years. While readers may not be familiar with Rallison by name, no doubt they have seen his comics shared over social media and, no doubt, they've laughed. Longtime fans will see favorite comics as well as new material to entertain and delight.--Diana Platt Copyright 2018 Booklist
