E-raamat: Good Luck To Us All: A Graphic Memoir of Sorts

"...insightful, engaging...Readers can expect significantly haunting, lasting resonance as Vermeulen vibrantly, gloriously, unabashedly shares her imperfect life.  Starred Review Booklist



"Karen Vermeulens graphic memoir Good Luck to Us All is a funny, honest account of an imperfect life marked by foibles and follies. ...an amusing graphic memoir about being single in the modern world."  Foreword Reviews



"Vermeulen, a 'chronically single and chronically childless' Cape Town artist and Instagram cartoonist, debuts with a savvy collage of self-deprecating personal anecdotes....Charming illustrations add a welcome dimension of silliness....What initially appears as breezy as a Cathy cartoon reveals a surprising well of novelty and depth." - Publishers Weekly



I dont remember the last time a book made me laugh so hard I had to put it down to breathe.... entirely original...it is visual storytelling with heart and bite. The book is honest, hilarious, and deeply relatable, a love letter to singlehood, self-awareness, and the quiet courage it takes to build a life on our own terms.  Joy Watson, The Daily Maverick (South Africa)



"It was thus a delight to come back to work, and read and laugh and cry my way through what has turned out to be the next 5-star book on my 2025 list, Karen Vermeulens astonishing and gracious Good Luck To Us All... ...Its not a perfect book but its raw and refreshing, rather like the sushi she (also relatably) cant give up. I loved it."  Doreen Sheridan for The Frumious Consortium



"Immaculately-captured moments in both writing and illustration that will give some stand-up comedians a run for their money. Refreshing and Hilarious." - Liora Friedland, co-author of NO! and Lets Party



"My internal reader nodded along happily except in those parts where my internal reader laughed out loud and gave my external quietly-sitting-reading reader a fright. [ Good Luck To Us All] has these tiny, quiet observations that surprise and amuse." Karin Schimke, author of The Karen Book of Rules



"Candid and funny, Karen lifts the veil, the bandage, and the skirt on life in all of its complicated beauty" - Alex Latimer, author-illustrator A truly graphic, hilarious, intimate and warm portrait. - Iain S. Thomas author of I wrote this for you and Every Word You Cannot Say.
