Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I finished this book in a day- the plot was gripping, I really loved the illustration style, and I'm pretty interested into looking into medical museums/ libraries too. Also, I can totally relate to the struggle of the protagonist wanting to work in a library but not having a degree. Those feels are real.

However, I have a pretty big gripe with the depiction of Cel's relationship with her boyfriend, Kyle. Mental illness is a main theme in the plot of this graphic novel, and Weir certainly doesn't shy away from highlighting the really hard parts of struggling with mental health when it's your own brain and your partner's brain. Certain parts of the novel felt "praise-y" when Cel made some unhealthy decisions, and I felt as though characters who wanted to help her and had the right advice were portrayed as bad or controlling. I don't want to give anything away from the story, but there were just a few parts that rubbed me wrong and felt like toxic Tumblr advice on mental health/ self care, and not real-word, "I'm concerned for your health and want to help you" care.

I think as long as anyone who picks this for a book club/ comic group focuses on some of the flaws in the self care/ mental health care aspects of this graphic novel, it could be a really great learning and discussion opportunity.
