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 you in? 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. 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 lovable 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 obsession).
