4.0

 Hungry Ghosts is a short but impactful graphic novel in which Valerie has to cope with her father’s death and her mother’s body shaming and fat phobia. This is informed by the author’s own experiences with disordered eating . I appreciated the hopeful ending made possible by Valerie seeking professional help.
