What an adorable book! I truly enjoyed reading the "doodles" about Marzi and the daily struggles she encounters as an introvert. I could definitely relate to 99% of the situations she depicted. I think this is an easy and fun book that all introverts can relate to. And it would be a great resource for non-introverts to get a glimpse of the challenges that introverts face in this extroverted world.

Introvert Doodles by Marzi Wilson was a book I read because I just needed this kind of humor and awesomeness in my life. As an introvert, sometimes you just need to check out someone/something that gets you. This just so perfectly captures the life of an introvert. I found myself nodding in agreement and laughing as I read through these. If you are an introvert (and/or if you know and love one), this is another great window into what life is like for us. This is a quick read, but it just puts so much positive energy into the world, and I absolutely loved that. I read this because it was something I knew I was sure to love, and goodness did I ever. It's very meta for an introvert to read about being an introvert, but again, it's just the best.

I am a fan of Marzi's comics, so when I found out she also had a book filled with them, of course I had to get it.
I am not sure if I would qualify for introvert, I have a lot of things that would classify me as such, but the same goes for the extrovert side.
This book was pretty relatable, a lot of the introvert comics made me go: OHHHH, that is exactly me (preferring a quiet day at home, reading books, not a fan of calling people, getting tired from too much interaction, to state a few examples). At times I couldn't relate, they were just too extreme for me. Like making up excuses, or being rude to people when they don't get her.
I definitely saw one comic that I wouldn't mind making reality. The one where she is sitting on a bench and people are bothering her while reading. She has a sign next to her with 4 answers to standard questions people always ask her. I would love such a sign next to me, as people generally don't get it that when one is reading they just want to read and have silence.
The book doesn't only have comics, but also pie charts, single images, normal charts. I definitely like that it made the book more creative and fun to read. You never knew what was on the next page.
The art is pretty decent, but then again, I mostly read this one for the stories/comedy/relatability.
All in all, this was a great book, and I really enjoyed it a lot. I would highly recommend this one to everyone (introverts, extroverts, ambiverts), I am sure everyone can relate to these comics.

A delightful and breezily fun read for those introverts, like me, who enjoy finding out that the world is not solely filled with extroverts. The author is able to poke fun at her introversion, while giving a comforting and humorous nod to those who share it. It's a short, comic style book - easy to finish in one sitting. If you need a good giggle - I definitely recommend.

Nearly everything in this book is so relatable for me. Like the author/artist, I also experience a lot of anxiety and I'm more than a little shy and awkward. To me, Marzi perfectly captured what it is like to be an anxious introvert.
Marzi's style is super cute. She keeps things simple but does feature recurring characters, and the main character is always the same (Marzi's surrogate).
I really enjoyed this book and I had fun sharing it with my husband. He is also an introvert, but a much more outgoing one than I am, so some of these little "doodles" helped him understand me a bit better.
