This graphic memoir was gut wrenching and breathtakingly honest. In Lighter Than My Shadow, we learn about the author’s experience with eating disorders and trauma. She writes with so much depth and simplicity along with fantastic illustrations. I was blown away by how much I related to this memoir having had a very different eating disorder. 

Enter this one with caution, it brings up so much detail around ED and to a lesser extent SA. If you can take care of yourself and read this, I think it’s a really special book.
