Book SynopsisTrade Review“Meichi Ng’s collection of illustrated short stories is a hug to the soul….She’ll have readers laughing at every page. Every adult should have a few books that fit into the “We all have no idea what we’re doing! Hooray!” genre, and Barely Functional Adult should be your next addition.” — Shondaland “Ng strikes the right balance between pointing out life's injustices, finding the humor in them and offering the hope of resolution.” — Shelf Awareness, starred review “Meichi shares moments and thoughts that impact a lifetime of self-discovery and growth. The book's lovely poignancy is only enhanced by the constant humor of the comics throughout. Great read!” — Nick Seluk, author of Heart and Brain and creator of The Awkward Yeti “Barely Functional Adult has all the wit and biting humor of the comics that preceded it, but in an expanded format that is more personal, insightful, and even funnier.” — Reza Farazmand, author of Poorly Drawn Lines "Meichi has created a wonderful collection of sincere and engaging stories which are only elevated by the interspersed comics to provide extra insight and humor. From start to finish, I found myself smiling, laughing or nodding in agreement with the many topics in the book that I identified with. A truly enjoyable read!" — Chris McCoy, author of Safely Endangered Comics “Barely Functional Adult is full of sweet, honest tales about growing up, with life lessons and wasp-related metaphors you’ll find yourself thinking about long after you’ve put the book down. Meichi’s hilarious stories and adorable drawings feel like a warm hug that you won’t want to let go of.” — Dami Lee, author of Be Everything at Once “Heartwarming, honest, hilarious and extremely relatable! The comics convey the widest range of emotions with a charmingly minimalist style. I couldn’t put it down!” — Gemma Gené, creator of 157ofgemma “Burgeoning adult Meichi Ng puts the fun in Barely Functional through this collection of personal, comical and deeply relatable stories. A must-read for anyone grappling with adulthood (and African dwarf frogs).” — Worry Lines
