"Julie Houts has cultivated a devoted following as 'Instagram's favourite illustrator' (Vogue) by lampooning the conflicting messages and images women consume and share with the world every day. A collection of darkly comic illustrated essays, Literally Me chronicles the daily exploits of 'slightly antisocial heroines' (Refinery29) in vivid, excruciatingly funny detail, including: the beauty routine of a deranged bride who aspires to be 'truly without flaws' on her wedding day; what happens when Kylie Jenner has an existential crisis and can no longer 'step out'; a journey to Coachella by the Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse; the true dating confessions of a fembot; the terrifying description for Alice Staunch's book How to be the Perfect Feminist; the diary of Fiddle Ficus, a tree that lives inside a CÉLINE store, and much more. Literally Me marks the launch of a brilliant new social satirist. Julie's singular voice and beautiful illustrations reveal the truth about the absurdity of life in the social media age: the line between becoming a total 'Girlboss' and a 21st-century American Psycho is razor-thin"--Dust jacket flap.
