This quiet graphic memoir about a girl’s life with an eating disorder will tear you apart. The art—all shades of gray—is gorgeous, with a ball of black squiggle following her everywhere she goes, telling her not to eat a thing. Lighter Than My Shadow is the story of Katie Green’s struggle and recovery, and, as the forward notes, the book she wishes had been there for her.
