A review by hermusings
Full of Myself: A Graphic Memoir about Body Image by Siobhán Gallagher

funny inspiring lighthearted reflective sad medium-paced

3.5

This is my first memoir comic book and it was insanely cute!! As an illustrator Gallagher is incredible at portraying beyond her words.

This is her memoir but the overall theme is self-acceptance when battling body dysmorphia for years … among other things.

I think a lot of this book will be cathartic to those who’ve dealt with similar things as Gallagher (internalized fatphobia, depression triggered by change, low self worth, etc.) 

However, my biggest critic is that the whole book felt like a stream of consciousness.

We would be in the teenage years and a random story about her being 11 would show up that never really tied in again. 

At times it worked when it felt like a friend telling you a story but most of the time it just felt like a roller coaster.

Thank you to Andrews Mcmeel Publishing and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
