I also follow this author on Instagram, where she continues to be a spark of joy and compassion and deeply relatable as a women, mother, friend, and person. An enjoyable read whether you are 15 or 55.

Read This Book: if you like Allie Brosh comics and some self-deprecating, woman-centered humor.
Loryn Brantz is a national treasure! Her comics are vulnerable, self-aware musings on the minor and major inconveniences of being a woman: grooming and nail care, bizarre dating and mating habits and prioritizing naps, This book has been out for a while, and she now has a daughter, so her newer work offers funny commentary on parenting (oh, some advice? Great! I can't wait to hear about how you breastfed your baby for seven years), and her most popular is "Feminist Baby." Her work is so relatable and fun. 5 out of 5 peaches

Different strokes for different folks I guess. In my opinion, this fell flat for the most part. A few cute drawings, but most were not funny.
Thanks #NetGalley for the freebie. I'm glad I didn't buy it. You ask for my honest opinion, you got it.

I follow Loryn on Instagram and love the drawings that capture the foibles of daily life. If you enjoy that account this is a cute book and a fun way to pass time. I would give this as a birthday gift or just to cheer someone up. What woman wouldn't find this relatable!

Thank you to Net Galley for the Advance Copy.

This one wasn't as much fun as I had hoped. I'd previously read some other comics collections like Sarah's Scribbles and I think I liked them more. There was a lot of repetition in this one, and I wouldn't really say this one told any secrets to being a woman.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

'Lady Stuff: Secrets to Being a Woman' by Loryn Brantz is a collection of her Jellybean Comics based on, I assume, personal experience.

Being a human being has its awkward moments. This is about the female version of that awkwardness. About how you look at the beginning and end of the day or how you tan. There are dating foibles and finding a job that suits who you are (professional napper!).

Disclaimer: I'm not lady. Yet, I found these comics pretty funny. As someone who sees his own foibles and failures, I can relate. Just not so much on the personal grooming side of things. This was a witty collection.

I really enjoyed this!

Humour in the awkwardness of living as a woman. These comics are cute and bright, similar to Sarah Andersen and Allie Brosh. Comics are a quick read but these stuck with me for a long time, making fierce points with fine humour and great wit. What a winner.

A humorous collection of relatable experiences that many women encounter. I enjoyed the illustrations as they brought some of these to life.

Lady Stuff by Loryn Brantz cute little comic book.
hit or miss. but fun to read.
the comics are a nice simple style
Thanks for sharing

I really enjoyed this graphic novel. I found myself, as a mid-twenties female, relating to so many of the panels in such a strong way. This is definitely one I'll reread.

I've followed Loryn Brantz online for her cartoons for a while now, and if you like them, you'll like this book. It's funny and relatable.

Loryn Brantz's work is so much fun. Highly recommended!

<i>Lady Stuff</i> reminds me of <i>Sarah's Scribbles</i> but the latter is superior. There are some cute inclusions in this comic but ultimately I was left dissatisfied. The drawings and the topics were a bit too simple and I wish there had been more nuance. Overall it was not a bad book, but not at all memorable or superior to many others in the genre.

What a humorous look into the view of life as a lady! I'm glad that I check this author/illustrator out!

The type of hilarity that has you chuckling and rolling your eyes because you've done the exact same thing as is being described. I enjoyed this immensely.

Lady Stuff: Secrets to Being a Woman by Loryn Brantz

Summary (via Goodreads)
A collection of Loryn Brantz’s vibrant and relatable Jellybean Comics about her everyday experiences as a lady.
Home manicure tips, awkward seduction techniques, scoping out the snack table, and—most important—prioritizing naps: Lady Stuff reveals these womanly secrets and more. In sections like "Grooming and Habitat Maintenance," "Mating Habits," and others, these brightly colored, adorable comics find the humor in the awkwardness of simply existing.

My Opinion
This isn't really the sort of book that can be reviewed but I like the author's work so I enjoyed this collection of her cartoons.

It's not clear if the material is new and I'm not familiar enough with her work to say so I can't make a recommendation on if this is worth purchasing or not. But I would definitely check out her stuff online if you haven't already.

I was never able to retrieve my files on this book and lost out on reading it. 😭😭😭😭😭
I'm sure it was hilarious, as all of Loryn Brantz' comics are.

Lady Stuff is a book of secrets to being a woman. The book is a series of comics that are all very funny and relatable! The topics covered include: grooming and habitat maintenance, life ambitions, mating habits, self care and social conduct. This was a really quick read since it's a comic, but I found myself laughing a lot and relating to pretty much everything!

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated.

This comic collection was super disappointing. To be honest, I requested it on NetGalley by accident, because I mistook it for Sarah Anderson's work. Once I realized this was something else entirely, I decided to roll with it. How bad could it be, right? 



Apparently, very, very bad. The jokes felt tired and at times forced. I felt like I'd seen most of the comics online before. Brantz writes for Buzzfeed and has work featured in several children's novels. I didn't bother to find any of her other books, but I will say that adult comic collections are not her strong suit. Sure the situations are relatable, but the stories aren't told in a particularly interesting way. Most of the comics are one or two panels, and quite a few are "before and after" type drawings. I found myself yawning as I scrolled through the pages. I couldn't wait the for book to end. If any of my readers see Lady Stuff, move on. Sarah Anderson does a better job of showing us what it's like to be a lady.
