"Vermeulen vibrantly, gloriously, unabashedly shares her "imperfect life."-Starred ReviewBooklist

In this graphic memoir, Cape Town artist Karen Vermeulen reflects on the absurdities of contemporary womanhood-from romance and friendship to the ever-elusive "self-care".

Trust her-Karen is trying really hard to be an adult. Harder than she should probably have to, as a thirty-something with a cat, a flat, and a job. She would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling influencers, always raising the bar of what it means to be a proper woman.

Accompanied by her trademark quirky artwork and signature wit, Karen pokes fun at her attempts to "grow up": whether that's becoming a meditation girlie, getting Botox, faking self-confidence, using dating apps, going to therapy, or living the childfree life (unless you count her feline companion Sir Henry, which, of course, she does.)

From emotional support pigs to ectopic pregnancies, cuticle care to under-boob chakras, the laugh-out-loud and deeply perceptive illustrated essays in Good Luck To Us All are a testament to these wild and crazy times.
