Dumb: Living Without a Voice by Georgia Webber
First, I did like reading about her perspective as she struggles with not being able to speak. It covers difficulty with wellfare and getting access to helpful treatment, and on top of that struggling to be understood all the while well-meaning people actually making it difficult.
That being said I found some parts hard to read because of the hand-written font and how it was placed within the panels. Some of this was intentional especially in the places where it was more journal/draft-like. Reading some other reviews I realize this isn't entirely a me-problem, but could have actually been done better. Some text was intentionally word soup and obscured by drawings, but that had a clear purpose, whereas other times it just made the reading experience difficult for no reason.
Another review mentioned how starting before the incident would have given better perspective to the story as we would've been able to see the drastic changes first hand.
