A brutally honest book with amazing doodles/illustrations. I'm not a mother (thank the lord not (I'm 17)) so I don't understand most of the situations, but I do recognise some situations in the shoes of the children! This book is relatable for all and highly enjoyable. It sure gave me some laugh bursts!

Irreverent, even subversive look at modern day parenthood through a lens darkly. The cover for I Feel Bad is brilliant: from the blood-red all caps title font, and the body dysmorphic illustration, to the fact that the author's surname translates as "outsider" in Germany where I am currently being made to feel bad. all day. about being alienated. Which is to say, in just the right frame of mind to appreciate this particular read - a quirky mad jaunt through a morbidly funny display of bordering-on-confrontational honesty.

Thank you to Netgally, PENGUIN GROUP Blue Rider Press & Plume, Blue Rider Press, and Orli Auslander for this advanced copy for an honest review.

I'm definitely feeling like I can waffle on this edition. I wasn't entirely in love with the art and a good portion of the topics or the graphics that were done with it, but then there were sudden ones that my heart swelled and felt smashed because of the familiarity. I think everyone can recognize the one about baggage, about how we feel family has failed us/we have failed family (both hitting at once).

Several of the issues get deeper as we get past the halfway point, touching on the internalized guilt of our society over recycling/world health, parenting, protesting/self-defense, having a period, motherhood, politeness, and marriage. There are definitely familiar and even schadenfreude moments you'll find yourself associating with your life as you go through this one.

I loved this book.

It was basically about all the things that made the author feel bad in her day to day life. All of them were numbered and had accompanying illustrations which added to the overall feel of the book. The drawings were of a unique style quite representative of the author.

Some were relatable "I pay someone to clean up my shit" and "Everyone's a suspect"

Some outrageous : "I make him wash the dildos" and all were funny as hell.lol..

There were one or two sad ones but overall the book was funny funny funny. At least to me.

Let me preface this review by saying the layout of the e-ARC that I received was poorly done and confusing at best. I'm sure (I hope) that when this book is released to the public in April (2017) that these issues will be rectified; however, a shoddy review copy is very off putting.

Let me get to the nitty gritty of the book, the tale itself. I didn't like it. It felt like a someone's poorly done self-hatred diary doodles. While maybe the intent of the book was to show that others are not alone in their struggle, this just held very bad vibes. It made me feel like the artist/author was trying to one up others with her amount of self-hatred. I felt personally attacked on some levels, as though if you do these things then you should hate yourself too. It felt problematic. It was incredibly triggering for me.

The publisher is marketing this book as "humor" and...no? This book isn't funny in the very least.

Overall, this was nothing like I imagined or hoped for the book to be. I do not recommend it.

I admire the authors honesty. Aside from that. I'm glad it's over. I find it amusing how I just finished it a few hours ago and it hasn't made much of an impression.

Orli Auslander didn't intend to write a book. After realizing she felt guilty, or "bad" as she puts it, Auslander began to document all the times she felt this way with drawings. She quickly realized that she "felt bad" almost all the time.
I Feel Bad: All Day. Every Day. About Everything. is a collection of poignant looks at thoughts that race through the minds of women all day long.

I Feel Bad: All Day. Every Day. About Everything. is intended to be funny, but there are times when the drawings hit a little too close. I hadn't realized how many times a day we as women culturally feel bad about not being the perfect employee, mom, partner, etc. The book challenges one to sit down and write down all the times we feel bad and see how silly so many of them are when we are doing our best and being pulled in multiple directions.

I Feel Bad: All Day. Every Day. About Everything. is available from Blue Rider Press April 4, 2017.

Propavly i didn't enjoy this book for the moment when i read it, where frankly I'm sometimes really good and others I'm a piece of *****, but the fact that i can actually understand what the autor was traying to explain where really good and a great experience
