HTML: "Funny, introspective, and touching. . . . The lessons Meichi gently shares with us through delightful stories are full of wisdom for people at any life stage who need a reminder they're not alone." â??Mari Andrew, author of Am I There Yet?
From the creator of Barely Functional Adult, a painfully relatable webcomic with over 130k followers on Instagram, comes a never-before-seen collection of incriminating short stories about exes, murder, friendship, therapy, anxiety, Hufflepuff, sucking at things, freaking out about things, calming down momentarily, melodrama, wrinkles, pettiness, and other wonderful delights. Wielding her trademark balance of artful humor, levity, and heartbreaking introspection, Meichi Ng's indisputably relatable collection of short stories holds a mirror to our past, present, and future selves. Featuring a swaddled Barely Functional Adult as its protagonist who says all the things we think but dare not say, this book is equal parts humorous and heartbreaking as it spans a spectrum of topics from imposter syndrome, therapy, friendships, first loves, letting go of exes, to just trying to find your purpose in the world. Prepare to excitedly shove this book in your friend's face with little decorum as you shout, "THIS IS SO US!" In this beautiful, four-color collection compiled completely of never-before-seen content, Meichi perfectly captures the best and worst of us in every short story, allowing us to weep with pleasure at our own fallibility. Hilarious, relatable, and heart-wrenchingly honest, Barely Functional Adult will have you laughing and crying in the same breath, while taking solace in the fact that we're anything but alone in this world.… (mere) |

| Tilegnelse |
Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. For the people I love,
Who tolerate my nonsense on a regular basis.
For Mum,
Who has supported every ridiculous dream I've ever pursued.
For Dad,
Who taught me how to be brave in the face of darkness.
For Jenny,
Who was my very first therapist.
& for all the Barely Functional Adults out there,
Who ought to know they're not alone. | |

| Første ord |
Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. There is a strange but potent comfort in the discovery that someone else in the universe has experienced the exact same feelings as we have. [Introduction] Shortly after becoming a strong, independent adult, I decided it was finally time to start a family.
So I bought a fish. | |

I didn't like that this is one of those hybrid graphic novels where the cartoon panels act as humorous accent pieces interspersed between blocks of text of varying sizes. I enjoyed the cartoons, but then was punished with boring words before I could have another. Unfortunately, the pictures don't make a great deal of sense without the words, so I couldn't just ignore them.
Convert more words to cartoons and this might not have been the book/reader mismatch it ended up being. (
