It's All Absolutely Fine by Ruby Elliot
4.0
Some of the artwork was familiar from tumblr, and I loved almost all of it though a few, especially in the beginning, felt more like filler pieces before the book picked up. Most of the artwork and the written entries I read eagerly, but some were too long or too small or just fell flat. I loved the randomness of the book but the weird spelling got a little annoying after too long.
I loved her representation of mental illness, self harm, bipolar disorder, and eating disorders. I don't actually follow this tumblr myself, so I had no idea what to expect. It was a very honest, heartfelt, and thoughtful book dressed up to look like all funny memes. It's a great example of using humor as a coping mechanism and it just made the huge personal truths she revealed more impactful. It takes true talent to pull that off and it's an awesome work of art. I wish it would be out before Christmas, because I definitely have a friend I want to buy it for ASAP.
I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
