Reading notes:
Momo sucks ass.
She just accused man of a crime he didn't commit? And what she accused him of is not even comparible of her wearing lipstick? And her and her boyfriend are so happy about it? They deserve each other.
The scene with the pills in uni. Just like, girly, if you have something on your heart, maybe don't throw it at the first person you see?

I do not actually remember if there were examples of addiction, alcoholism and drug abuse, but I am not planning to reread the whole book to find them. It felt like they were there, but do not trust my word. Also, ableism is there for like a chapter, but it is bad.issyd23's review against another edition

This is a definite recommendation on my recommended list! Whether you enjoy history or graphic novels, or want to learn something new about another country, or specifically Iran, or read something out of your comfort zone, this is the book to read.

Graphic: Death, Violence, War, Torture, Religious bigotry, and Misogyny
Moderate: Confinement and Grief
Minor: Kidnapping and Rape
All graphics in the novel are in black and white. While the tags may say "graphic," no extreme details are illustrated, such as blood. Satrapi utilizes the negative space, as well as narrative block text, to highlight and talk about certain violence.
