It's Lonely At The Centre Of The Earth by Zoe Thorogood
dark
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
i really loved the drawing style on this, and how the author drew herself as different characters to portray her different thoughts. i also loved how she decided to represent depression. overall, the stylistic choices are really good, although they can be a bit confusing at first. but there's no doubt that the author is a really good cartoonist.
the book per se doesn't really have a plot, it is more of a character study, about how the author's depression affected her during six months.
since this is a memoir i think im just gonna keep my rating private. did i like the book? yeah, it was pretty cool and i liked how she handled the complexity of mental health and mental instability. and i totally get how this might have been helpful and therapeutic for the author. i guess i was just expecting to get some closure? maybe a consistent plot?
