Siobhán Gallagher’s graphic memoir, Full of Myself, instantly turned me into her biggest fan. No one who grew up in the 2000s—and later, chronically-online—could have come out unscathed by the constant barrage of anti-fat media. I was impressed and moved by Gallagher’s willingness to portray her most shameful (and heartbreaking) moments in the hope that readers will understand they’re not alone. A throwback godsend for Gen Z, and for Millennials, a connection to our childhood selves. It’s got me ready to relive my Lisa Frank® days, minus the self-hate.
