This is such a hard book for me to review.
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.
