It's Just a Book Calm Down – Bernie the Cat Graphic Tee for Women
You know that feeling when your favourite character dies, the plot twists stab you in the heart, and your non-reader friends just don’t get it? Bernie gets it.
This design is a snarky hug for your inner reader, a nod to the book-induced meltdowns we wear like badges of honour. Created by Sydney artist Akanksha Kaushik in her Cosmic Dots studio, this tee is for the overthinkers, emotional wrecks, and proud bibliophiles who’ve had their hearts shattered by hardcover and Kindle alike.
You’re not “too much.” You’re just emotionally invested. Own it.
