This graphic novel was much different from what I expected. I got rather emotional in the end as I somewhat relate to her story. The novel was a book that showed me that sometimes the flaws of parents aren’t intentional and that sometimes it can just be their form of showing us love. Even through all of this I really enjoyed the story and like how they made the story about her without using romance/crush to be a big part.
Graphic: Eating disorder and Mental illness
Moderate: Body shaming, Fatphobia, Panic attacks/disorders, Self harm, and Toxic relationship
Minor: Death of parent
