The artwork was very simple and well done, and the whole journey was easy to follow. ( ) This book is amazing! I also started following this cartoonist on Instagram and I find their stuff so relatable in general. Being an introvert, we can often feel very different and misunderstood by others, so reading something where almost every page gives you an “Oh my gosh, yes! This!” moment, is pretty great. I would also say this is very relatable when dealing with anxiety and depression as well, as I find that the feelings and thoughts that arise from each of these can be similar and overlapping. Debbie Tung doesn't understand the definition of "introversion." In many of her panels, she exhibits strong signs not of introversion but of social anxiety and high sensitivity. Her life comes across as regularly very stressful and distressing to the point of joyless. As an introvert, I related to the pages showing genuine introversion but most of the time just felt bad for her. Full review on Goodreads. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

This illustrated gift book of short comics illuminates author Debbie Tung's experience as an introvert in an extrovert's world. Presented in a loose narrative style that can be read front to back or dipped into at one's leisure, the book spans three years of Debbie's life, from the end of college to the present day. In these early years of adulthood, Debbie slowly but finally discovers there is a name for her lifelong need to be alone: she's an introvert. The first half of the book traces Debbie's final year in college: socializing with peers, dating, falling in love (with an extrovert!), moving in, getting married, meeting new people, and simply trying to fit in. The second half looks at her life after graduation: finding a job, learning to live with her new husband, trying to understand social obligations when it comes to the in-laws, and navigating office life. Ultimately, Quiet Girl sends a positive, pro-introvert message: our heroine learns to embrace her introversion and finds ways to thrive in the world while fulfilling her need for quiet.
