Non-Fiction Book Review - 'I Left the House Today!' by Cassandra Calin

Oh wow this is funny and relatable. I actually laughed out loud a few times, not just chuckled or grinned to myself.

'I Left the House Today!' (a most unfortunate title for something to come out in 2020), with the subtitle 'Comics by Cassandra Calin', is like the anecdotal works of Sarah Andersen, and if you like her comics then you're sure to like Cassandra Calin's as well.

The art, the drawings, are great; funny, detailed, expressive, even oddly, paradoxically beautiful when it wants to be; when it is deliberately making fun of "perfect, beautiful people." Ideas and expectations are indeed far from the reality!

Freaking hilarious, true stuff. To be a modern woman! To be an everyday, ordinary, boring person. Who is living life, and maybe trying what they can to make it not boring and routine.

You can't make this up.

Final Score: 4/5
