Literally Me 

From Julie Houts aka @Joolee Loren, ‘;Instagram’s favorite illustrator’ (Vogue), a collection of darkly humorous illustrated essays that ‘;perfectly capture what it’s like to be a woman in 2017’ (Buzz Feed) and lampooning modern female identity in the social media age.LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE. or EXIST. SMIRK. LURK. Julie Houts has cultivated a devoted Instagram following by satirizing the conflicting messages and images women consume and share with the world every day. Literally Me chronicles the 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 day What happens when Kylie Jenner has an existential crisis and can no longer ‘;step out’ A journey to Coachella by the Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse The true dating confessions of a fembot The terrifying description for Alice Staunch’s book How to Be a Perfect Feminist The diary of Fiddle Ficus, a tree that lives inside a C L I N E store and much more. 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, showing us that the line between becoming a total ‘;Girlboss’ and a twenty-first century American Psycho is razor-thin.
