emotional lighthearted reflective slow-paced

3.0

Literally did not need to be as long as it is. Not the best graphic memoir honestly! The story and themes get communicated halfway through and the rest is filler that just repeats the same ideas over and over again.
I got it half off & I’m glad I did because I cannot justify the price and length of this book otherwise.
