Gosh, where do I even begin… Emma Grove’s The Third Person is a gift of a graphic memoir, following a trans woman navigating the world of therapy. She only needs to get through a few months of sessions before she can get cleared to start HRT, but… her therapist is stuck on something about her, and she can’t understand why. A difficult but incredibly cathartic read, one which I’d highly recommend to anyone seeking an understanding of medical gatekeeping, trans womanhood, and childhood trauma, and how those things tangle together.

Emma Grove perfectly captures body language and facial expression in this compelling autobiography
This is an intensely personal graphic memoir about the author's experience with what I'd have to say is the world's worst therapist. It is a total mystery why she stayed with him for six months, but my guess is that if you're really at rope's end, jumping from one ship (even one that's sinking) to another is too much to bear. The author sought out the therapist because she is trans and had multiple personalities. On paper (as I read it), it's over 900 pages, so you might want to give your wrists and arms a break and read it on your electronic device.

Started off a bit slow but I read the last 600 pages in one sitting. Really started to come together.

This one is hard to rate! Fascinating and stressful. Images are very simple and narrative is primarily dialouge but the story is not boring at all. But it is incredibly heavy.
was literally five minutes from finishing this when i got interrupted at the desk and never picked it up again. i don't know if i really needed to.
