Eat, and Love Yourself is a graphic novel following Mindy, who has an eating disorder. One day she buys a chocolate and every time she takes a bite she gets sent back in time to confront her memories from when she was younger.
This graphic novel with beautiful art carries a very heavy theme. I personally cannot relate to the eating disorder aspect of the story, but I hope people who is suffering from it can find solace and hope in the story. Also, people who are not familiar with eating disorders can learn more. It also tackles mental health and finding it in yourself to love yourself. I found the story very sad, but also full of hope. I wish we got more in the end, so hopefully it will be more volumes in the future. When Mindy finally got to a point to look at things in a different way, the story ends. Overall important, heartful and very real. 4/5 stars.

Santiago’s Road Home follows Santiago who after being thrown out of his aunt’s house, decides to immigrate to America with a young mother and her daughter. On the border they get picked up by ICE.
This book follows very relevant and important events happening right now. We see and learn about how kids truly are being treated at the immigration/holding centers. I have read similar books before, and they always hit deep in the guts. This one stands out because we follow a such a young person, and the author really makes us love and care for Santiago. It is a sad journey, but still a hopeful one. Truly a powerful and important book, for everyone and everywhere, especially in today’s environment. I was sad, but also my heart leaped for this very real story. 4/5 stars.
