I was excited to get my hands on this collection of art and short essay-style prose by Ruby Elliot, and I was not disappointed. The book deals with Ruby's experiences with mental illness, but unlike other books that can enter into a sort of list of suffering, this takes a lighter view on complex issues like bipolar, anxiety and eating disorders. It is quite an enjoyable experience to laugh about things that can feel so terrible while experiencing them, and I found comfort in it too. It's also a short and easy read so it won't seem daunting if you're struggling to find the motivation for longer books. Definitely get it.

Quite enjoyed this book. Quite pacy and very interesting. Definitely one of the better YA dystopian concepts I've come across.
