The overbearing and inescapable shadow of black squiggles swirling above and around the main character provided an excellent visual for the seemingly unshakable and ever-present prison of unhealthy and obsessive thoughts that can tumble and cycle around in a person's mind.
While this graphic novel looks dauntingly hefty, this actually helps the reader understand to some extent how long the struggle for recovery can take. I am amazed at the detail the author was able to remember and convey regarding the specific iterations of her struggles with her disorder over the years,
This is a book full of triggers and is worthy of a giant warning label for anyone trying to avoid topics such as
Graphic: Eating disorder, Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, Self harm, Suicide attempt, Body horror, Body shaming, Bullying, Chronic illness, Grief, Sexual assault, Toxic relationship, Adult/minor relationship, and Suicidal thoughts
Moderate: Sexual content and Forced institutionalization

I always rate graphic novels lower than if it where a novel usually because I just don’t connect to the story as well.
That being said I think this is a very important and heartbreaking, but inspiring story. I think you need to be in a good headspace for this and sadly I was not because this is insanely triggering( at least for me). Trigger warnings for eating disorders, sexual abuse, and suicidal thoughts( there’s more but I feel like those late the main ones. I would recommend this to see someone’s first hand experience with these topics, but I would only recommend it if you can handle the topics and if your in a good headspace.
