The content of this was super relatable and honest to me! Especially the parts about quitting a job you hate, finding a therapist that will work for you, imposter syndrome, and being not young but also not old and how your priorities and actions change. I really liked the format of this book, the graphics mixed with chunks of text.

This book is honestly a contender for my favorite of 2020, and it is rare for me to narrow down a favorite. Barley Functional Adult just so happens to speak to exactly where I am in life right now, and it does so with fabulous insight and delightful humor! I took a step back from social work in February (for some context I have an MSW and have been in the social work field for over a decade). Since then I have continually felt lost and unsure of the next steps in my life. Reading a book that essentially confirmed that I am not alone in this feeling and also that it is OKAY, was exactly what I needed right now. I am so thankful for this book and plan to get myself a physical copy as soon as possible!

Cute, short, and relatable. The comics and illustrations were sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, and it was a quick read. I sometimes felt like the content was a little repetitive, but overall it's something I'm glad I read! It certainly makes me feel less alone as a fellow Barely Functional Adult.

About the art work: Art work is simple and clean with no back ground stuff and I like it even more as it conveys the message in simple manner. Only characters and explicitly mentioned objects are drawn. Love it.
She talks about her dis-functional adult life and writes some soothing lines that are relatable. I don't one would relate with everything she writes but on the abstract notion of things they all seem relatable.
Just read it. It is a max 4 hour read.
