Oh Wow.
Let me just start with that. I didn't quite know what to expect when I started this graphic novel but I was soon completely drawn into the story. I wanted to scream at Mindy and at some of her choices as much as I saw myself in her, which: Did I ask to be called out like this? No I did not. (But thank you anyway, Sweeney Boo, for that reality check.)

In Eat, and Love Yourself we meet twenty-something Mindy, who lives with her cat and has an eating disorder. She eats when she is stressed, or not stressed. Has anxiety or feels good, content... in the end, she always seems to find a reason to eat. Additionally, she suffers from Bulimia. She also is very critical of herself. Due to previous bullying, she doesn't think that any boy could ever be interested in her and completely disregards her best friend, when she compliments Mindy on the way she looks.
Mindy buys a new brand of chocolate on a late night shopping spree and with each bite is transported into a scene of her past. She observes her past self in situations which led up to making her the way she is and for the first time, she realises that and starts to change her outlook on life and her view of herself.

One, I would like to note that the drawing style is absolutely drop dead gorgeous and I absolutely adore each and every character in this comic. Mindy is absolutely stunningly drawn and I took a very long time looking at every detail on each page. The pacing is lovely, the way this story is told is an absolute delight and I really enjoyed reading this little comic that is all for self love!

I absolutely recommend this to anyone who is into comic books, struggles with themselves, struggles with food... oh, hell, just struggles! Or know someone who does, and for everybody in between.
