N D Stevenson is a writer I've enjoyed for a few years. I followed them on Twitter for a year before I read and loved Nimona. This illustrated memoir is a raw and beautiful depiction of what it's like to live with the fear of disappointing the people around you always at the forefront of your mind. The pressure of their life and work putting them in the public eye at such a young age, and the pressure of trying to live up to the standards they'd set for themself is conveyed in a way that's relatable. The art is beautiful and the writing is clear and conversational.
