Whether you're "WTF is TikTok" years old, "seeing all teenagers as potential babysitters" years old, or "saw something you had as a child in an antique store" years old, it's time to admit it. You're old.

In I Am "Why Do I Need Venmo?" Years Old, Janine Annett and Ali Solomon chronicle the trials and tribulations of getting older, touching on themes from technology and pop-culture to fashion and body image with comics such as:
  • I am "super into dogs and clogs" years old.
  • I am "excited about composting" years old.
  • I am "texting about the carpool" years old.
  • I am "wow, LL Bean has a lot of cool clothes now" years old.
  • I am "can't digest cheese" years old.
  • I am "hurt myself putting on pants" years old.
Endearing and relatable, hilarious and accurate, it's the perfect book to buy yourself, your friend, or your sister as a reminder that we're not alone in this journey toward ergonomic backpacks, getting excited about home renovations, and becoming our mothers.

Hilarious, until it happens to you. As a lady who gets called ma'am, a willing and enthusiastic target of Instagram ads, and long-time Clippy stan, I feel not so much seen as personally indicted by this book. It's a good thing it's so goddamn funny, or this might actually hurt. Like my back, all the time, for no reason.--Emily Flake, author of That Was Awkward: The Art and Etiquette of the Awkward Hug
