There's some heavy topics, but overall I think they were treated with care and honesty. Jayne's self-hating moods is exhausting to be in after a while but I'm glad the narrative eventually calls her out on it. Most accurate portrayal of siblings I've read in a while. Overall the message is positive but not too storybook rosy, however I did feel a bit slow and meandering at times, perhaps because it wanted to tackle so much.
Graphic: Eating disorder, Vomit, and Dysphoria
