Really beautiful read that gets into some very sensitive topics so well. I love the way she told this story and it’s easy to relate to

Really powerful and emotional. I love graphic novel memoirs and this one did not disappoint. I found the end too quickly wrapped up and would have enjoyed reading more about how she found other coping mechanisms. I understand that this was a very personal journey about the author accepting themselves and their body, but I would have loved to read more about her relationships with friends and family, especially her sister. The general pace of the book was also a little slow and sometimes I found it hard to gage how old she was. I would highly recommend looking at the TW in advance to reading this. 
Also, I applaud the author/publisher for including resources for readers struggling with similar situations.

Not sure if it was just the edition I was using from my library but the text was cut off at the top of the page in the comics, it was really frustrating to not be able to read sentences and have the illustrations slightly off. It was a good book, vulnerable, described eating disorders very well, illustrations were good, but I wasn’t moved or wowed beyond belief like I was expecting. I think the format of the book being off soured my experience because it was decent storytelling.
