I think depressed girls in their twenties auto biographies are not my jam. But the art in this was 5/5 .
I highly recommend the visual experience.

I saw a tweet from someone I subscribe to on Substack saying they’d received this book for Christmas. That book looks awfully familiar, I thought to myself. I searched up the title on hoopla, and lo and behold, I’d already liked it. I got my monthly borrows, and selected this book. There is so much movement in this graphic novel! It was almost like a multimedia film; I was gushing over it out loud to my empty room. This book showed me how far I’ve come in my healing journey, and perfectly articulated truths about mental illness everyone who’s struggled with it before have encountered. I wish Zoe the best and I’ll be reading more of her work in future. <3

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.

Within the first two pages, I was hooked. This is such a dark, emotional, real graphic novel. This definitely isn’t a feel good read, but I loved that about it. It dark times, I don’t want to read something where everything magically works out and everything gets better at the end. I want something heavy and gritty, and that’s exactly what this book gives you. The potato scene in particular was so painfully relatable.
I’m not sure enjoyed is the right word to use, but I am really glad to have read this and that it exists.

I've never read a story set up like this! Thoroughly enjoyed the mixing and mashing of styles. Also, I love the final monologue :)
