Going into this, I thought there was going to be a bit more story to it. Not like there's anything wrong with a collection of 1-2 page artistic blurbs, but I felt like this was more of a coffee table type book as opposed to a graphic novel. I did very much enjoy the artwork and found myself relating to A LOT of the topics weaved throughout this book so I think it's still worth picking up.

I wish it were longer! Every page of this book had me either deeply in my feels or dying laughing. At first glance, this may look like just an ordinary art book, but inside you will find that there is so much more there. Lazo takes us on an autobiographical journey that is both relatable and wholesome. It's obvious that this is someone who has invested deeply into themselves, and they were kind enough to take the reader along for that journey. I cannot say enough good things about the content, but also it's very visually appealing. If you are someone who uses humor as a coping mechanism, this book is absolutely for you. I can immediately think of several people I'd like to gift it to!

I love Sonia Lazo's artwork, and could relate strongly to her feelings in this book. A great, short read to pick you up and remind you you're not alone <3
