Wow. Cried. At the risk of sounding like an asshole: There’s not a new story here, but it’s told in a new way. It’s told in an honest way. It literally felt like I was reading someone’s diary or my own diary. It’s messy in a cathartic way. Something I will probably read again many many years later.

this graphic novel follows the artist over a six-month span as her life falls apart. i appreciated the honesty found throughout the book. i also liked the art style and how each person was depicted. i highly recommend this book to graphic novel enjoyers and to people who appreciate mental illness representation.
