“That’s the problem with flirting with the idea with something, sometimes you fall in”

I don’t read autographies often but I really enjoyed this one! The rawness and honesty from the author really shows in their artwork. It was beautiful as it was heartbreaking hearing her process through writing her first book, her childhood, and how she copes with suicidal ideation. Its depiction of depression felt relatable to me and being able to translate that into images and the monster that haunts you day by day was fantastic. I would recommend this book for anyone that struggles with doing their passion while trying to find their meaning in the world. It have a darker take on certain things that makes life feel bleak, but it’s also reality for us some people, especially comic book artists.
