Before anything, I would like to thank Siobhán Gallagher, the publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a very nice book that resonated with my core and made me feel less alone in my thoughts and experiences.

The messages are beautiful and I completely agree with them. I wish I could let go of my fears and free myself like the author has done. Maybe one day.

It wasn't a perfect read, as I pointed out in my cons list, but overall this book is beautifully written and drawn, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Pros:
* The aesthetic is on point. I loved the colors and the designs. Even the table of contents is beautiful.
* Even though this is a memoir, it has such nice storytelling and compelling lessons that you don't need to know who the author is at all (my case).
* I related to many things in this book. The anxiety, the NYC passion when I was younger, the eating behavior, the body image problems... I felt seen.
* There were so many nice quotes I wanted to highlight, as well as a lot of cool scenes I wanted to print out and hang on my wall.
* There is feminism and fat acceptance throughout the whole book in an educative manner that is interesting for people who already know and for people who don't know about these topics.
* I like how the book acknowledges that the experiences shown are from a white, straight-sized, able-bodied, cisgender woman and obviously don't represent everyone's experiences.
* I love how it is shown that even after finding love, the problems with body image and disordered eating can still affect relationships.
* It is also really nice the addition of the fact that living in your dream city and having your dream job won't fix all your problems.
* The ending made me cry. Which I always love.

Cons:
* At a few parts, especially in the beginning, this book didn't feel like a comic to me, with long texts and explanations. That is fine, but it's not what I expected when I picked up a comic to read.
* The sections of the book (despite the 4 bigger parts and the chapters) are not very defined. Sometimes I had to double-check that I didn't skip a page because the scenes would go from 0 to 100 out of the blue and completely change the subject unannounced.
* At some points, I felt like it is trying too much when it comes to flowery advice and explanations of concepts. It never went too in depth, so sometimes things feel shallow and just there for the sake of being there.
