Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. I can relate to certain things in the book and that felt great. Even when I haven't been in the shoes of the author, I still get a sense of being close to her and somewhat able to empathize. Funny, quirky, page-turning and awesome! A must-read for everyone. Note - I received a free copy of the book from the publisher. This has not influenced my review in any way. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"Explore the highs and lows of modern life through the sharp, dark wit of Ruby Elliot--creator of the massively popular Tumblr account, Rubyetc, which has over 210k followers and growing. Ruby's simple drawings of not-so-simple issues capture the humor and melancholy of everyday life. Her comics appeal to both new adults who are beginning to explore these subjects and to battle-tested veterans of the daily struggles of life with mental illness."--

I think she does an excellent job concisely explaining exactly what it feels like to have an eating disorder (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder) and it’s probably applicable for addiction too, of how the mind is so full of the obsession that there isn’t much room for much else including life experiences, relationships, etc. By the way she draws herself as fat but in photos she currently looks neither overweight nor too thin. Her anorexia started at age 14. She seems to have been only 22 when she was creating this book and it’s heartening about how much progress she’s made with her eating disorder and mental health issues which include anxiety and depression. She does a good job of explaining how managing mental health issues is complicated. I found the last illustration with text in the book particularly poignant and I’m glad that she included it and placed it in the book where she did. I also especially loved and appreciated the “in the same boat” cartoon.
I would read more of this author’s books!

I read a Hoopla e-edition, not a Kindle edition this is shelved. It was the only way I could borrow this book from my public library. ( )
