I already knew Cassandra Calin's work online and although the title is kind of ironic in the current state of the world, it's a very realistic and funny portrayal of introverts and people who work from home. The book is all made of those common daily situations that make you think that you're the only person who goes through that – and that's so not true. It's dramatic and so funny, and exactly what I needed to read today. If you like Sarah Andersen or Debbie Tung's work, you'll laugh and love Cassandra's too.

It is a bit scary how much I connected to this comic. Whether it is about relationships, looks, not feeling your best, or the ridiculous amount of hair in a shower drain, everyone can find relatable moments in these comics. I like that the comics are simplistic in not having a ton of background and being black and white. This really draws the reader to the character and even with few words they understand the situation. I am a huge fan of literary elements and the author knows her way around hyperboles and metaphors among various devices to help provide humor yet reality through her images. If you want a quick, light-hearted read that will pull you in and leave you with a smile on your face check out this book!!

As always Cassandra brings you the most relatable content, from hair struggles to just wanting to be a burrito in bed all day in order to avoid people. Its enjoyable comic collection you wouldn't get tired of.My favorite part is expectations versus reality because my God the struggle is real especially for coily/curly hair.
This collection is perfect for online fans and newbies alike. if you need a good chuckle pick this up!

I Left the House Today! is so relatable. This book made my introvert heart so happy. I giggled throughout the different scenarios. The illustrations are so cute. This would make a great gift for the besties. Thanks Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC of this title.

A funny and relatable look at the foibles of everyday life as a young woman. For fans of Sarah's Scribbles.

I enjoyed this as a quick read! I wasn't familiar with the author's work prior to picking this up but I enjoy her style and sense of humor. I felt like I related to many of comics and even the ones I didn't were still enjoyable. Perfect little read for quarantine reading and a much needed laugh.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC :)
I've been following Cassandra on Instagram for a long time now. Lots of the comics were familiar in this book, I only find some new ones but I liked them nevertheless.
I didn't really find any logic in the order of the comics and I missed that. It'd be great to have some bigger categories for the comics or something.
They were all relateable and funny, and I always loved her work. So if you are in need of a good laugh or someone to understand your problems, then this is for you.

An adorable graphic novel. It's amazing how a simple drawing can make you nod your head in agreement and laugh out loud.

This was a cute little book and several made me smile. Some of the cartoons I couldn't relate to but most I could. The author is hilarious!

absolutely love this comic series each page has a different little story and it really reminded me in my own life it's in black and white which is very entertaining to me and simplistic.Instead of having a lot of color to tell the story it really does tell the story with the pictures.

A very cute and relatable comic strip compilation.
The author takes every day life occurrences, and draws them in the form of funny and charming comic strips.
As a female, I can definitely relate to all the incidences portrayed in these comic strips.
They are quite humorous and quirky. The illustrations are also really cute. I love the way the author draws the comics.
Would definitely recommend this book for an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon!

*Thank you Netgalley and the Publisher for providing me with an early copy of this book for review, all opinions are my own*
I loved it, I managed to identify myself in almost all comics.
I've always loved Cassandra’s drawings.
This comic is, in my opinion, perfect, I loved reading it and I recommend it !!!

Cassandra Calin's comics are always about daily life things, and it makes it even more enjoyable to read. The art style is so good too. So, if you don't know what to do, I suggest you read this funny comic.

I've been following Cassandra on social media for several years now and I've always loved her drawing style and the content of her comics.
This one is highly enjoyable and very relatable!
I'm glad I got to read it in advance, would 100% recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this ARC!!
Hilarious and relatable comics about one young woman's life, relationships, and day-to-day humorous musings on why it's good to leave the house sometimes—and when it's better to stay home.
OMG this was book was so damn good !! I could connect with this book right from the first page and the illustrations were so cute. Highly recommended for a fun lighthearted read.

This was the cutest thing ever! It was such a quick little read but it made me laugh out loud. It was relatable...maybe a little too much, but honestly so funny. The art was adorable and so well done. I love that it took you through literal seasons and also seasons of life and just every day things that girls deal with in a super comical way. It's nice to have a little chuckle over the things we might think of as annoying in our lives.

I simply love Cassandra Calin! This book is the breath of fresh air we need in these days of Corona style staying at home. This talented young artist did it again, she pictured funny and not so funny situations that many of us will find relatable.
One thing I always stop to admire and appreciate beside the humour of the comics, is the style: it’s versatile and consistent at the same time, and the way the different emotions and expressions are portrayed is priceless.
If you need a laugh, if you want to feel and know that you are not alone – this is the book for you.

A cute series of comic strips about the struggles and quirkiness of being an introvert, a girl and overall somebody who prefers to stay at home over going out and socialising. I follow Cassandra Calin’s comics online and generally think she makes light-hearted, funny and relatable comics. The book is not as laugh-out-loud funny as I expected, but still quite cute, relatable, beautifully illustrated and definitely worth it if you are a fan of her work. I especially enjoy her “expectations vs. reality” comic strips. I’ll definitely check out her first book as well.

If I didn't know any better, and if I had curly dark hair, I would have sworn Cassandra Calin was illustrating my life. Super relatable, both in terms of our current shelter in place situation and life before COVID, these humorous and adorably drawn comics about everyday moments in the author/illustrator's life run the gamut from the problems with bras, to women's fashion, general melancholy, how hard mornings are, and the comfort of a good blanket.

I have been a fan of Cassandra's work on Facebook for a long time! These comics are relatable, funny, and cute. A lot of (expectation vs reality) comics, and fear of dealing with people and many comics about the struggles of dealing with people and the world in general. I loved it.
