Ink in Water: An Illustrated Memoir (Or, How I Kicked Anorexia's Ass and Embraced Body Positivity) by Lacy J. Davis, Jim Kettner
4.0
Wow, this is the second graphic novel I have read in a week that was about anorexia.
It works though, telling the story that way. And like the other book, Lighter than my shadow, the story is very painful, and the thoughts in each of the women's head are what drove them to do what they did, and to have their relationship with food.
It is so important that these two books, these two graphic novels, are out there, that women are writing about what worked for them, and what did not. It is so sad that anyone has to go through this, and a graphic novel is such an accessable way to tell the story.
Recommend this to those who are curious, those who have gone through this, or have simply wondered what was going on.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
