What a ride! This graphic novel made me laugh out loud multiple times. I have to admit, however, I did not like ALL of the short stories (or would they be called memes?). That is okay though, they are very specific, which makes the ones I was able to identify with so much more funny and relatable. All in all, I had a great time reading this and I would totally recommend it to every oddball out there!

Sarah Andersen's comics remain some of my favorite. They are always funny, yet relatable. For me, they are a must-read and a great pick-me-up type of book.

This is the first Sarah Andersen I’ve read and thank you Net Galley as I may have found a new friend. Even though I’m in my 50s I still found myself nodding my head and thinking to myself “yep, that’s so true”. Her cat vs dog observations are so funny (I’m a dog person) but just overall a lovely read that had me smirking and constantly laughing out loud throughout. Illustrations and themes are spot on.

I really like the author's style and relate to many of the situations in the comics. The illustrations are wonderful and excellently reflect what is going on.

This is perhaps my favorite Sarah Scribbles collection following the very first one. I felt truly seen by almost all of the panels in this book. Sarah is a gift to those of us who are weird and contrary.

I’ve been a huge Sarah Andersen fan for years. Her previous Sarah’s Scribbles have been painfully relatable and this one is no different. She’s fantastic at hitting the heart of Millennial life experiences with on-point humor. I laughed several times in the 15 minutes it took me to read this collection. If you haven’t yet checked out Sarah Andersen’s work, I highly suggest it.

I’m very thankful to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with an arc.

A lot of fun, cute, similar to her older books. If you like Andersen's work, you'll appreciate these comics.

Sarah Andersen's work isn't necessarily for every age group. I can understand older readers missing both references and tone in this work. That said, for those in on the joke she once again delivers a group of comics that are funny, too close for comfort and spot on. Always an easy recommendation when she has new work, this is no exception.

This is a book that will have you smiling from start to finish! Sarah Andersen has another winner in Oddball. I love the way she is able to find the humorous spots even in the most sensitive subjects. This is a totally relatable and relevant read. Well done, Ms. Andersen!

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with the opportunity to read and review this book.

I love Sarah's books and this one is no different! The only negative for this book is that I wish there were more pages!

This is one of the best of these webcomic-gone-graphic novel collections I've ever read. Sarah Andersen has a downright incredible gift for putting together some of the most relatable one-shot comics I've ever read, and this collection lives up to that status and more.

Have you read any of Sarah's Scribbles before? Did you like them? If so, you'll love this. If not, you should and this is as good of a place to start as ever.

This book, even though it's only 105 comics long, had me laughing nearly the entire time I read it. Not the puff-of-air-out-the-nose laugh either, but an audible, full-on laugh.

I highly recommend giving this one a try.

The perfect book to make you laugh out loud and want to go back to the beginning to start all over again.

I’ll definitely be looking into more by this author.

Sarah Andersen's latest collection of her cartoons about life as a millennial artist. Topics include insecurities, cats, dogs, witches, frogs, friendship and love. I grinned, smiled and laughed. And some still go over my head. Her three previous books were graphic novels of the year for Goodreads and I'm sure this will be in the running this year. I was extra amused reading as my twenty something year old daughter watched my expression on every page, just to see if I thought it was as funny as she did. Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and author for a temporary ARC ebook in exchange for an honest review.

YES!!!!!! EVERYTHING I WANT IN A BOOK!!! I have been waiting for this one to come out and it did not disappoint. Page 42 has my all time favorite (so far) of Sarah's cartoons. The book made me laugh out loud. It truly captures my 27 year old soul. Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC.

I am a huge fan of Sarah Andersen and her 'scribbles' so obviously, I had to grab this one. It did NOT disappoint. As the rest of her books, this is packed with hilarious and relatable comic strips that will leave you giggling and agreeing at the same time.

Hopefully, there will be more of these coming out in the future.

Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for giving me the opportunity to read this.

As always Sarah has a unique way of making me go "it me" every time I read her comics. I love her simple style and quick punchlines. The downside, as usual, is that I believe all of these comics are available for free online, so I can't think of too many reasons to buy a collection of her works. Sarah is also very much a millennial woman so I'd be surprised if her appeal is strong across generations.

It's a 8/10 heccin good book-o.

I've been a fan of Sarah Andersen's for a long time now, just gonna preface with that.

Her art is fun, relatable, and just...it's a good time.

It's a mix of emotional, oddball (hence the title), memes, relatable, and sometimes sadly hopeful.

I've honestly never read a single of one of their comics I didn't like. I giggle, smile, and honestly highly recommend this for anyone who's already a fan or just wants to have a good time.

Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this in exchange for an honest review.

This might be my favorite Sarah's Scribbles compilation yet. She just gets me! I really appreciate how she doesn't shy away from tough topics that millennials struggle with but she approaches them with grace and humor and the acceptance we all crave. I just adore Sarah.
