I absolutely loved the book. Being a huge fan of Gemma's works, it is hard to not like each of these comic illustrations. There were puns and digs I did not even see coming, and that is a compliment of the highest order. 
The topics/themes she has chosen are also so damn relevant to the zeitgeist, I cannot point out to a single flaw in the whole arrangement!

Gemma Correll is a comic artist after my own heart :) Her humour about anxiety in the modern age feels spot on to me, and she uses the single panel gag incredibly well. The book is simple, but quite amusing, and that's a perfectly find thing to be!

Caroline Lewicki

I didn't find this all that funny, or really that much about being a worrier at all.

2.5/5

Meh, idk. It was okay, I guess, but not what I expected. I thought it'd be more like Sarah Andersen's comics, but it wasn't. Maybe if I knew what it was like, I'd like it more or wouldn't even read it. But I can't say I hated it, no, it was fine.

This was cute and if you follow Correll on social media then you've already seen pretty much everything in here.

I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affected my opinion of the book, or the content of my review.

I can be quite a worrier - and I'm full of social anxiety, so when I saw this at Netgalley I figured it would be perfect for me.

It consists on a series of drawings featuring different kinds of things to worry about. Things like a disease-a-day calendar, the archeology of a purse and real life horror movies. 

Each page has a different thematic inside a set of different chapters exploring worries such as hypochondria, fashion, food, love and grown-up life. It also has some neat pop culture references here and there.

I though some bits were amusing, but not laugh-out-loud funny for me. Also, I don't think certain aspects of the humor were really for me, such as things like disgusting food items/food as facial hair, things like that.

It is quick to read and an interesting gift for that friend who is constantly worried over life. I honestly could relate to a lot of the topics and I like the author's cartoony art style, but the overall humor wasn't for me.
