Guts by Raina Telgemeier

Only show reviews with written explanations

This was sooo good and when I finished the last page I wanted more!!! However, I do feel like the portrayal of therapy/therapeutic techniques was a little basic. It would've been able to see something a bit more detailed.

I love every single graphic novel by Raina Telgemeier and Guts was no different. This has quite a few trigger warnings such as stomach issues and anxiety so be aware of that before reading it. I loved the message of not judging a person until you know their full stories and that it takes guts to express how you feel but it’s worth it because there are always people willing to help you! As usual, the illustrations were great and I loved how easy it was to read!

I really like that this book takes on anxiety and learning how to deal with stress. We often feel so alone, like we're the only ones going through stuff, and Guts is great because it shows us that we're not alone.

I read the earlier "Smile" books as a young girl and fell in love with Telgemeier's artistic and writing style. She tells of the trials and tribulations of young girls so so well and her stories are so relatable. This book was no exception. I really love that she chose to tell this story and it was done really well.

An hour long read that is so heartwarming! I love Raina Telgemeier! She has an extremely vivid, funny drawing style and tells stories of her childhood in a way that I can relate to as a geriatric 23 year old. Nick I’ll be bringing this in so you can read it :)
