Lavender Clouds by Bex Ollerton

5.0

Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the arc.

One of the most validating things I've read. This graphic novel provides a raw and honest insight into the life of someone who is neurodivergent, as well as how life can look with anxiety and depression.

The illustrations were brilliant and really captured what it can be like living with ADHD/autism/mental health struggles. I found myself looking at some of the spreads and thinking "that's me!! I've never been able to explain it before" and I imagine so many others will feel similarly.

I would definitely be mindful of your headspace when reading this, while incredibly validating it may be difficult if you're in a depressive episode! (My one wish for this was that it provided more hope!)
