It's All Absolutely Fine by Ruby Elliot

3.0

I like Rubyetc's Tumblr a lot, and I admire her comics and drawing style. I also admire her for writing so honestly and wittily about depression and other mental illness. That said, this book didn't completely work for me. I think her comics lose their impact when viewed one after another, and work much better seen occasionally on Tumblr or Twitter. As someone who has had significant mental health problems, I found some of her auto-biographical writing about dealing with therapists, living with eating disorders, etc, a bit basic, and I would have liked her to delve deeper. That said, she's good at getting the basics across and I think this is a book a lot of people will find funny and useful.
