A lovely, quiet thing.
I relate to a lot of Debbie Tung's experiences in her comic about her years at college, getting a job, and getting married. I think any introvert can.
'Quiet Girl in a Noisy World' is very funny, cute, insightful, and just a little bit harrowing in how much truth it contains. It is about living your life doing what you want, and taking the chance to achieve it. A lot of us are braver than we think.
This autobiographical comic, centering around one ordinary person, can help more people like Debbie.
Debbie is quiet, shy, a massive bookworm, likes tea, prefers to be alone, prefers to work alone, feels lonely and under pressure when at parties and other social gatherings, tends to overthink and say the wrong things, worries what others think of her, even though she knows she shouldn't, and is British - like me! Right now I'm only jealous that she managed to find and marry a man she loves, an extrovert who understands her socially-awkward brain that isn't unusual at all.
The magical, personal black, white and grey watercolour art to go with such a book fits it tenderly.
'Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert's Story' - because you are not alone.
Debbie Tung teaches us that even the quietest person, never seeking attention or the spotlight, is special in this world; they can make an impact on other people's lives. Everybody has worries, doubts, crises, and insecurities, and they express or hide them in different ways. Acting social shouldn't be forced upon anybody.
No human is alone. Seek love and understanding and support, and love yourself.
Final Score: 4/5
