It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth by Zoe Thorogood

3.0

"Life is merely a collection of good and bad experiences loosely held together by the void in between- and that void is your space to mold, a space to harness and create in. Just be careful not to get stuck there."

A metanarrative Slice of Life graphic novel that will appeal to those in their 20s.

Society often portrays your 20s as the best time of your life. However, I really struggled in my 20s, more than I ever did in any other time in my life. I've heard the same for friends of mine. They call it a "second" puberty.
This book captures this tumultuous time.

The story covers:
*Imposter syndrome
*Generational trauma
*Healing your inner child
*Doing drugs
*Doubting yourself
*Dealing with weird "situationships"

Overall I enjoy the plot, voice, and artwork. I think this would have appealed to me more if I was still in that time period of my life and could resonate better with the angst.
