4.5

No one is quite as good at digging deep, muddling through the "what-does-it-all-mean-ness" of life and coming out of it with an original and profound take on intensely personal, yet universal lived experiences. She's done it before with family, but this time Bechdel does a deep dive into her relationship with fitness, though that is purely a springboard for the deeper dive into a higher understanding of the self as part of the whole. This graphic novel is for everyone who has a body, a mind, is a part of a society, and is looking to connect the dots between all of those things.
