Hungry Ghost

Kept trying to formulate a better review but couldn't do here we go.

I expected this to be more about anorexia than bulimia. Had I known I likely wouldn't have picked up. While I usually take more than a day to finish graphic novels this one took me a while due to certain scenes. Had I read this kind of book two or three years ago I would have likely DNFed this book.

Ying does a good job at portraying complex family relationships. There were moments both in the past as to how Valerie's mother reacted to her eating habits. The change is seen in Valerie's thoughts with how she views herself and the world. As well as how it can change relationships after you start to try and heal.

While I do think the conflict was resolved fast I do think it was ok in this book. I do believe that this is plausible due to the subject matter and her genuinely caring for Valerie.

I would recommend this book to people as long as they're okay with the TWs.

( Honestly feel like I could have worded this better but it is what it is.)
