About the Book

From the illustrator of the runaway Korean bestseller I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki, It’s Okay Not to Get Along with Everyone is a vulnerable, honest, and accessible illustrated guide to living and loving with healthy boundaries.

Humorous and relatable, Dancing Snail is a friend to anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by expectations—others’ or their own. With simple yet engaging illustrations and candid reflections and tips, she explores what it means to navigate relationships as a sensitive person: the awkwardness of small talk, the exhaustion of people-pleasing, the fear of disappointing others, and the relief in claiming time and space for ourselves.

It’s Okay Not to Get Along with Everyone reminds us that it’s not only normal but healthy to admit when something isn’t working, when we need space, or when we just don’t have the capacity to be “on.” Rather than advice on how to power through, the book offers a gentle affirmation: you’re allowed to honor your limits, choose yourself, and build a life centered around peace instead of pressure.
