Literally Me

LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE. or

EXIST. SMURK. LURK

Julie Houts has cultivated a devoted following as ‘Instagram’s favourite illustrator’ (Vogue) by lampooning the conflicting messages and images women consume and share with the world every day.

A collection of darkly comic illustrated essays, Literally Me chronicles the daily exploits of ‘slightly antisocial heroines’ (Refinery29) in vivid, excruciatingly funny detail, including: The beauty routine of a deranged bride who aspires to be ‘truly without flaws’ on her wedding dayWhat happens when Kylie Jenner has an existential crisis and can no longer ‘step out’A journey to Coachella by the Four Horsewomen of the ApocalypseThe true dating confessions of a fembotThe terrifying description for Alice Staunch’s book How to be the Perfect Feminist Literally Me marks the launch of a brilliant new social satirist. Julie’s singular voice and beautiful illustrations reveal the truth about the absurdity of life in the social media age: the line between becoming a total ‘Girlboss’ and a 21st-century American Psycho is razor-thin.
