Awards for Good Boys: From the viral Instagram account

Author(s): Shelby Lorman

Humour

We all know a Good Boy.

He puts 'Feminist' in his Tinder bio, and then speaks over you on a date.
He ghosts you. But he feels bad. (Only for a moment.)
He once read a book by a woman. Sure, it was for school but he thought it was 'okay'.
He doesn't mansplain. Just aggressively clarifies.
And he's open to being wrong. Theoretically.

Ready to call time on rewarding those who clear the low bar of not being outwardly awful?

Through clever illustrations and witty vignettes, Awards for Good Boys breaks down our obsession with celebrating men simply for being 'Good Boys' and doing the absolute least. It will make you laugh, feel vindicated and may even help the men in your life be better humans.

'Full of great jokes about men who are nothing like me. Turns out women can be funny!' Ben from Twitter

Product Information

 Shelby and her art are extremely my shit. You need this book. --Samantha Irby, author of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life

Nothing captures the stress of modern dating quite so brilliantly as Shelby Lorman's illustrations. --Stylist 

A satirical look at the ways in which these so-called good boys expect to be patted on the back for doing the bare minimum ... We all mess up. The important thing is to find constructive - and ideally funny - ways to talk about it. --Refinery29

The book is a combination of her signature cartoons and nightmarish tales from her love life. Both will make you laugh and cringe in equal measure; I guarantee it. --The Skinny

Hilarious. --Vice
