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!

zanm's review against another edition

Wow. Cried. At the risk of sounding like an asshole: There’s not a new story here, but it’s told in a new way. It’s told in an honest way. It literally felt like I was reading someone’s diary or my own diary. It’s messiness is cathartic. Something I will probably read again many many years later.
