It's All Absolutely Fine by Ruby Elliot

4.0

'It's All Absolutely Fine' by Ruby Elliot (aka Rubyetc) is a collection of her drawings. She has a huge following on Tumblr and this collection includes some of those drawings, as well as previously unseen drawings and writings.

The subjects of her drawings are her life with different aspects of depression, anxiety, and body image among other things. There are eight sections in the book with chapter headings like Ah, Face, We Meet again and Excuse Me While I Ruin Everything Accidentally on Purpose.

The drawings are funny although the subjects can be heavy. Ruby is deft at keeping the subject light. Her writing is about the different things she struggles with. The whole thing is shared openly and I think there are certainly those in her reach that could benefit in knowing they aren't the only ones with these types of struggles. I really liked Ruby's brand of humor and her candor with the reader.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
