Cancer Made Me a Shallower Person: A Memoir in Comics

I've never had cancer and I've never known anyone well who has had cancer, but, just as a regular person, I found this book genuine, funny, sad, clever, dark, and (contrary to the title) a little deep. Engelberg tells the story of her sudden immersion into the world of the cancer victim and the cancer survivor with painful honesty. It is, despite the awfulness of the cancer, a funny story, too. It's the truthfulness I liked best about it, pulling away all the made-for-tv-movie sweetness that seems to often appear when people talk about having cancer.
