nomadiccaffineaddict 's review for:
Everything Is OK
by Debbie Tung
Huge thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing @andrewsmcmeel and Netgalley @netgalley for this e-ARc in exchange for an honest review.
I love when authors take the time to write relatable content on the topic of mental illness. We live in a day and age when it is a common and unfortunate epidemic, however, still stigmatized as problematic. This graphic novel is raw and visceral. The author takes the time to expose the realities of having depression and what it actually looks like on the daily. Not much is hidden here and I admire the work that was done to depict what going through therapy might look like as well. I enjoyed that the author still explained at the end that it's something that is never cured but just something that has to be treated and managed. The reality of having this type of illness.
My only gripe with this book is that it was marketed as having humor in it. I just didn't see it. Could have been just me. Maybe I didn't get it or just didn't think it was funny.
Overall, 4 stars for the above stated reasons. I do think this would be a good resource for depression. You are not alone. Also for family members/ caretakers to read so they too can understand what depression looks like in a way that is fun and relatable.
