Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert's Story by Debbie Tung
5.0
I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
This book is so important.
I identify more as an ambivert than an introvert, and while usually I lean more towards introvert than extrovert, everything about this book felt like something I could relate. My social batteries may need recharging after two hours of hanging out with friends, and often those same friends don't understand that and think I'm blowing them off and then I immediately feel bad and completely overwhelm myself with more socialising before I'm ready. This book felt like a warm hug that just swooped in with a cup of tea and a blanket, telling me that it's okay to need to unplug. It made me a bit emotional.
Accessible reads about life as an introvert are so important. Not only to those of us who live with it, but also for the people who don't and may have a hard time understanding why we may not want to talk.
This book, you guys. So important. So wonderful and important.
