review:
'Eat, and Love Yourself' by Sweeney Boo is a story about eating disorders, body acceptance, and a young woman on that journey.

Mindy goes out for food one night and finds an odd candy bar called 'Eat, and Love Yourself.' As she nibbles on it, she takes a journey back in time. She sees how her image of herself was formed. The secret binging and purging. How her parents said things that made her feel worse about herself. She sees how her view of herself has kept her from finding happiness.

I've read a few graphic novels like this. I like to hope they can help someone. I can't believe someone in this situation would need a candy bar to revisit their painful past. The art is rather nice, even Mindy's massively over-sized eyeglasses.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from BOOM! Studios and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
