Full of Myself

Pairs humor and 90's nostalgia with honest confessions about the author's struggle with body dysmorphia

This coming-of-age graphic novel explores the relatable challenges many young people face of fitting in, being awkward, and lacking confidence, but for the author, these challenges spiral into social phobia and body dysphoria. But it is not all gloom and angst—she has big dreams of moving to NYC and becoming an artist, which she eventually achieves, but not without some hurdles like depression, self-harm, bulimia, drinking too much, bad dates, and a creepy boss. It’s tough stuff, but the author seems to have found peace with it all that makes this feel entertaining. Her humorous tone keeps the mood light, and if you are of a similar age, her media and fashion references will have you looking back on your own past with lightness.
