This graphic novel interpretation of the author's experiences with seizures was really interesting. PLEASE check content warnings before reading, but i highly recommend this story. You will need to have an ope  mind, heart, and some emotional capacity to read it. It talked about the discrimination of patients with "invisible" illnesses as not all seizures involve convulsions. It also talked about racial discrimination in the medical field. The story was relatable. Sad but hopeful toward the end. The art was beautiful! I loved the style and all of the colors.
