Very trippy and well-written. This helped me understand how it feels to be in a poor mental state. I hope I can connect and understand people’s struggles with this new perspective. The art in the book is chaotic, emotional and bone-chilling. Truly a roller coaster ride that I would go onto again.

dark emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

I stopped reading on page 127 for over a month, for no discernable reason. However, I really did enjoy this book. I like reading things that make the author/artist feel real and tangible on the other side of the book. Somehow, that's still rare when reading memoirs. The illustrations are fantastic and Thorogood has a strong voice. I also really enjoyed the meta bits.

This book has one of the most eye catching and memorable opening lines I've read recently.

4.5

This book doesn’t shy away from honestly depicting very heavy topics of mental illness, self harm, self hatred, and su*cidal thoughts, and I appreciated that. I don’t want to say it was “relatable” like all of the people at the con in the book did…but it was and I saw myself in this. I thought the art style and formatting was SO creative, and the depression monster and body horror drawings were so incredible and creepy and made me feel itchy under my skin. There was also lots of humor in this book and it was genuinely funny. I feel like I should have read her other book first since she talks so much about it, but I’ll get to it soon!
