I've yet to see a book properly handle the subject of (possible trigger) eating disorders and mental illness among young men with the level of tact and care that's required when discussing the topic. All this in Oseman's lovely drawing style and incredibly real characterization. Cannot recommend this book enough to those who are prepared to read it!
