The Worrier's Guide to Life

by Gemma Correll

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

I had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading this. The whole book is written and drawn in a delightfully humours way. The art work is adorable, bright and eye catching. I enjoyed the whole book but my favourite drawings were the Wheel of Insomnia, A map of the Introvert’s Heart, Mediocre Housekeeping, Real Life Horror Movies and Dating: The Ride.

At times it felt like Gemma has seen inside my head. I sat down and read this in about an hour, it’s the type of book you’d want on your coffee table to flip through time and time again (and a few of the comics could be good ice breakers for those who struggle with house visitors :-P). All in all it’s a quick fun read about modern westernised women’s problems, dealing with over thinking, social anxiety and the big bad world.
