Lighter Than My Shadow by Katie Green
2.0

While Lighter Than My Shadow was a 2-star read for me, it would probably be much more meaningful to a reader who has experienced an eating disorder, depression or anxiety. It reminded me strongly of My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness, another wrenching read that dealt mainly with mental illness.

The art was almost all gray and black; the lack of color and the sameness of people's features made it difficult for me to tell them apart at times. I recognize recovery was a long, hard road for the author, but the book felt repetitive, as she spiraled and struggled over and over with the same issues. It wasn't quite for me.
