It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth by Zoe Thorogood

dark emotional inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

I have complicated feelings about this book. I did really enjoy reading about her life and it's amazing to see what Thorogood was able to do with the graphic novel medium. But it took me a while to finish it because I had to stop reading it often due to the triggering nature of the book. Thorogood is severely mentally ill, and reading her auto bio graphic novel sucks the reader into the head of the author, which at times was really hard to be in. 

On a different note I'm a big fan of her art style. And the way she's incorporated different mediums of art into this particular graphic novel.
