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

While much of it is old territory for those of us lucky enough to have followed them while they were still pursuing their art degree, I do understand the somewhat spartan way they chose to present the pieces of their story so far. So although I wish there had been a little more to the book as a whole, because the best memoirs bring you close rather than holding the reader at arm's length, I believe that to someone unfamiliar with Stevenson's art and storytelling prior to their latest successes, this book is an intimate look into how the author's personal struggles morphed into such popular and critically-lauded stories.

Body shaming: Noelle Stevenson talks a bit negatively about her own body and how much she disliked it, so it's not typical body shaming of other people.
