Interesting book.
Can't imagine a grown-up still can be this vulnerable like teenagers. :-) Well, nothing wrong to express the feelings.
A fun read.
4.5 stars.

This book can be summed up in one word: relatable. I have never related so hard to a comic before. I found myself laughing out loud at several points in the book. It has humor and heart, giving you the feeling that you are not alone. It's quirky and weird in the best possible way. This story is about the author's life while also being about the readers. All of the little things we don't notice we do throughout the day and throughout our lives are highlighted here. It's the simple things like "running up carpeted stairs like an animal" or "a traffic jam in the opposite direction". If you have ever felt lonely, out of place, or just full on weird, you need to read this! Introverts reunite!

Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this in advance! Such a breath of fresh air, I will recommend this to everyone and have our library purchase it.

As a 32 year old adult this book was incredibly relatable! It helped me normalize feelings and thoughts I have knowing other people have those same thoughts, worries and fears. At times this book was laugh out loud funny (especially as a kid who was also forced to play oboe in band growing up because it was “unique”). This book is inspirational, funny and great all wrapped into one, with great illustrations! Good for all ages! So glad she took a leap and created this book, the title speaks for itself!

This was a quick and fun read. I enjoyed most of it, but it seemed disorganized somehow. More like a collection of unrelated stories than stories under the same topic.

I liked it all the same and I somehow just want to hug the author.

This collection of diary comics is endearingly familiar, as if reading about your new friend. Author Jackie Davis successfully uses comics to explore many aspects of daily life, mental health and weird thoughts--and I loved it! I felt as though I were meeting a kindred spirit; getting inside the head of someone like me. A quick, easy read but one that you will want to read again and again.

Vulnerability is My Superpower will be published on April 13, 2021. Thanks to NetGalley for allowing to read an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. #vulnerabilityismysuperpower #netgalley

This was fine. Underpants and Overbites, altogether, is mostly just fine. The self-expression and self-discovery seen in the strip are enjoyable, but the humor rarely clicked for me. I also like Davis's art style.

The collection feels well-composed, but it really just didn't click with me. There were some moments where Davis wrote about anxiety, and that spoke to me. Otherwise, it was a lot of comics I didn't not like but I didn't really enjoy, either.

If you're into heartfelt comics with some humor dashed in, especially heartfelt comics centering around self-discovery, this should be up your alley. It's short, the comics are quick, and I could totally see a lot of people enjoying this one.

Pros: I was so excited to learn about this book on NetGalley because I have seen the author/artist's work on Instagram! I loved the message in this book and, as someone who lives with anxiety, found the book to be very relatable. I appreciate that the author combines serious with silly throughout. "Not Right for Me" and "I Get to Decide" were two of my favorites. (I also never thought about what Y2K stands for until reading this book!) I think this book is great for those who will relate to stories about mental health and insecurity but also for loved ones who want to learn more about what it is like to live with those struggles. I also enjoyed how this book included comics about living through the pandemic--I think it's the first book I've read that comments on the pandemic and how it affects so many small parts of our lives.

Cons: I've read several books in the genre of mental health-related comics, and why I liked this one, I've read others that I liked more. I'd round up to 3.5 stars if half stars were an option.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read this book!

Cute & occasionally lol funny! I'd think pretty much every adult will be able to relate to something in here....she puts into drawing/comic form.....anxieties, wishes, thoughts/ideas.... It's nice for adults to have to enjoy a quick, funny, relatable read in comic form! The artwork is real accurate/appropriate/cute too!
I received this e-ARC from Andrews McMeel Publishing via NetGalley, & in return I offer this, my own fair/honest review.

A hilarious, relatable, and overall great read! The story talks about anxiety, the struggles of life, and being vulnerable. It’s an a great read about following your dreams and trying to get through everyday struggles. It’s perfect for anyone who wants a good laugh or is dealing with insecurities and anxieties. I personally found it to be an amazing read!
