Description:

If you're floundering in life, striking out in love, struggling to pay the rent, and worried about it all -- you're in luck! World Champion Worrier and Expert Insomniac Gemma Correll is here to assure you that it could be much, much worse.

In her hugely popular comic drawings, Gemma Correll dispenses dubious advice and unreliable information on life as she sees it, including The Dystopian Zodiac, Reward Stickers for Grown-Ups, Palm Reading for Millennials, and a Map of the Introvert's Heart. For all you fellow agonizers, fretters, and nervous wrecks, this book is for you. Read it and weep...with laughter.


Rating: 3 stars

Review:

I found the title to be a little misleading since most of the entries seemed to focus more on issues for introverts or possibly loners instead of for someone who may worry a lot.

The book is separated into eight chapters, that deal with everything from health to holidays. This was a quick read with the book featuring mostly illustrated pages. I thought this was cute but not necessarily laugh out loud funny this had more of a subtle vibe to it.

I do wish this had focused more on being a funny guide for worriers because it felt like more like a random collection of comics instead of a guide book. However, I did like the artwork and illustrations they were cute and quirky.
