I've really enjoyed all of Debbie Tung's other comic books, so when I realized there was a new one out I hadn't read yet, I immediately picked it up. I didn't realize going into it that this book would hold a much more serious and heavy tone than her other collections, but wow, it was so good.

Everything Is OK delves into the author's experiences with being diagnosed with depression and anxiety, all the way from hitting rock bottom to where she is now, which is thankfully in a stable, healthier place. As someone who has dealt with my own mental illnesses (including depression and anxiety) since childhood, and is now in a pretty stable and healthy place as well, I felt like I was looking in a mirror and it was kind of the bookish equivalent of being wrapped in a warm, solid hug by someone who fully understood where I've been and how far I've come, and I loved that.

I think it's incredibly brave and beautiful of Tung to open up to her readers like this, and I'm grateful that she did. I love that she even included segments of her therapy appointments, including specific advice that she was given that could help anyone reading this book, too. I'd recommend this for anyone who struggles with mental illness, regardless of where you're at in your journey, and I'm so happy I read it! ♥
