She starts out as a picky eater. Then this-this is the journey of a woman who went through so much. Trying to compete with her perfectionism and being the best Katie cuts out all junk food for Lent. But by lent's end, Katie is still engaging in eating habits that are classic signs of anorexia nervosa. She thinks she is fat. She chews her bites in a number of times before swallowing. She is fanatic about her food and what she puts in her body. But she is not admitted to a hospital instead she is sent to therapy and is to follow a meal plan.

And she makes a great recovery. Only to slip again, as is the journey with an eating disorder (ED) can go. Then everything comes to a head and then she starts back to zero in the feelings of control. This is huge for Katie and I am not going to spoiler anymore about the memoir.

The art, at times, seems very similar. As in figures look too similar. Targeted for an older audience due to its content but is not explicated. Following the graphic memoir was easy, fun, and engaging. Relatable into how the feeling of having an ED, as in the feeling that your stomach is booing right before your eyes or the negative talk that the mind has.

I loved this book and all that was in it. It was compelling to look into a person with anorexia that didn't fall into the lines of hospital/residential treatment/PHP/IOP programming. A pretty thick memoir (over 500 pages) of getting to know a great woman named Katie and her journey with an eating disorder.
