It's fascinating to read his cheerful little year-in-review letters juxtaposed with disturbing little comics showing how he actually feels. At the end, when it all comes to a head and he decides to be fully honest - it's viscerally cathartic. There's a photo at the end of him and his wife on their wedding day, and they look so joyful that it made me tear up.
At times, the printing quality makes it difficult to read his handwritten captions, but that's the publisher's fault, not Nate's.

The format is great fun, a series of comics, bookended with a reflection from the end of the relevant year. The graphics are gorgeous and it was really interesting to see their style morph and grow.
I really loved this sincere look at many of the struggles they were going through at the time and there are many stand out quotes and images throughout the book. We get snippets of insight into so many topics such as gender, identity, sexuality, depression and anxiety without being overloaded.
There is a real sense of hope and possibility throughout the book while also a sense of honesty that times can be tough.
A beautiful graphic novel that I would definitely recommend to graphic novel newbies and fanatics alike
“To everyone harboring their own fire and to everyone lost in the dark. May you see the sun again.”
