It was really good and brought up some topics I don’t hear media directed at younger audiences talk about like this a lot. It was really good but I do recommend readers of this book to be careful as it could trigger some. It’s still very much worth reading, just be careful.

I've yet to see a book properly handle the subject of (possible trigger)

eating disorders and mental illness among young men

with the level of tact and care that's required when discussing the topic. All this in Oseman's lovely drawing style and incredibly real characterization. Cannot recommend this book enough to those who are prepared to read it!
