Description
These casually drawn, perfectly on-point comics by the hugely popular young artist Sarah Andersen are for the rest of us. They document the wasting of entire beautiful weekends on the internet, the unbearable agony of holding hands on the street with a gorgeous guy, and dreaming all day of getting home and back into pajamas. In other words, the horrors and awkwardnesses of young modern life. Oh and they are totally not autobiographical. At all.
Adulthood Is a Myth presents many fan favorites plus dozens of all-new comics exclusive to this book. Sarah's frankness on personal issues like body image, self-consciousness, introversion, relationships, and the frequency of bra-washing makes her comics highly relatable and deeply hilarious, showcasing how she became one of the most influential voices in web cartoonists.

Geschenkidee für "unhinged woman"
Oder eben Leute (besonders Frauen*) mit Neurodiversitäten. Die sich eher mit wenn dann sehr wenigen Leuten wohlfühlen & eigentlich am Liebsten sich zuhause einkuscheln. Übers Erwachsensein, Beziehungen (Liebe & Freundschaft) und das leidenschaftliche Alleinsein. Mal mehr mal weniger Identifikationspotential. Aber meistens zum Schmunzeln. Bestimmt kann nicht nur ich ein Stück meines Seins heilen (manche Dinge sind so ok, wie sie sind und DU BIST GENUG! ❤️)
To be honest, I stumbled upon this book because I needed a quick read to fill my book quota for this year. I am halfway through some other books, but I won't finish them within today. That being said, I knew some of Sarah's comics already through facebook and liked them. Although the fears that are depicted in this book are 10 years past me, I can still relate. The comic strips are funny, some downright hilarious. Definitely a recommendation for everyone who likes here style.
Sarah Andersen's comic scribbles are a blast to read. Funny, engaging and, most of all, relatable to anyone introverted, which I assume a lot of us people on Goodreads most likely are. The author somehow captures the essence of the reading-obsessed, shy and awkward introvert's experience and the struggle of transitioning from youth to adulthood. Of course, by default, a lot of Adulthood Is a Myth reads like an echo chamber for those of us who already have all these thoughts and worries, but Sarah Andersen does it in such a fun, endearing and engaging way that it becomes hard not to be enamored by her unique style. And yet, the universality of Adulthood Is a Myth ensures that it shouldn't work for introverts only, but also open some extroverts' eyes to what people with less outgoing personalities feel and experience. But that's just an introverted reader's theory. Also, it's a really short and fast-paced read, and the pages will fly by as you immerse yourself in this book. Do yourself a favor and give it a try, everyone.
