The writing isn’t particularly good, nor is this that moving or deep a take on ed, but it’s honest and quick. I have no gripes with it, and it held my attention the whole way.

As tough as it is to read, I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to create this brutally honest memoir.

A graphic novel ( and a hefty one at that) detailing the writer's struggle with eating disorders, sexual abuse and mental well-being doesn't sound like much of an easy going read. It isn't; it's a raw work, emotionally exhausting at times, though very effecting. Seeing often intangible emotions and psychologies in visual form makes this work accessable. There's no doubt the author has overcome a great deal- there is no sense of pity for her, only admiration at what she has worked to overcome. It's an honest look at many difficult subjects with a few moments of lightness to carry you through.
Because it is so personal I feel I ought to tread lightly. I did feel it was a bit long, repetitive at times with less than memorable dialogue. Ot could have swung into the realm of misery lit, but luckily it doesn't. However, I do think it would have benefitted from some firmer, stricter editing.

Ez a képregény minden szempontból tökéletes. Gyönyörű az illusztráció, fantasztikus a történetvezetés és az evészavar ábrázolása.
I am so impressed with Katie Green's bravery and openness in sharing her story. Her illustrations convey her internal experiences so well and I hope people take a lot of inspiration and solace from reading this. Recovery is possible. Kia kaha.
