I Feel Awful , Thanks is a beautiful graphic novel which follows our protagonist Joana as she navigates a whole new set of challenges after moving to London. New job, new friends and an overbearing boss are just some of the things which begin to set Joana unraveling.
The book deals with the emotions we experience when things are new and stressful and demonstrates how it's completely normal to have a little overwhelmed meltdown moment every now and again. Through the use of the concept of training your dragons aka emotions, the book also gives some great self-care and self-regulation tips.
The graphics are beautiful and the switching from an occasionally muted palette to one which bursts with colour compliments the theme perfectly. Also, the addition of the magic yet realistic undertone adds a great sense of warmth and fun.
A gorgeous, fun yet helpful read for both adults and teens alike, which will have a little something to take away for everyone.
