"The fourth book in the enormously popular graphic novel series, the latest collection of Sarah's Scribbles comics explores the evils of procrastination, the trials of the creative process, the cuteness of kittens and the beauty of not caring about your appearance as much as you did when you were younger. When it comes to humorous illustrations of the awkwardness and hilarity of millennial life, Sarah's Scribbles is without peer."

This has been my favourite so far in this little collection. They are fun, and they help us feel seen in our day-to-day lives. Fun, hilarious and overall enjoyable!

Thanks for reading,

Pages: 112
Publisher: Andrew McMeel Publishing
Year Published: 2016

"Are you a special snowflake?
Do you enjoy networking to advance your career?
Is adulthood an exciting new challenge for which you feel fully prepared?
Ugh. Please go away. 
This book is for the rest of us. These comics document the wasting of entire beautiful weekends don't he internet, the unbearable agony of holding hands on the street with a gorgeous guy, dreaming all day of getting home and back in pajamas, and wondering when, exactly, this adulthood thing begins. In other words, the horrors and awkwardness of young modern life."

My Rating: 4.5/5

I enjoyed these comics after a long week and think they are perfect for a fun little read. My only issue is the commentary on weight but I understand that might be a specific problem. Fun and cute. Would recommend.

Thanks for reading,

These small books about relationships and comics are excellent. I love how relatable these stories are and how much they make me giggle and look over at my husband. I can't wait to see what the third book is like. I adore these comics.

Thanks for reading,
