Welcome to Litsy!

This book hit me a little bit harder with the emotions. I enjoyed the book. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

Fabulous YA debut about mental health/depression, friendship and love, family and our place in the cosmos.

Gandalf wasn't trying to cuddle while I read this morning. He just wanted food.

I have to say that the first 50 pages or so were slow, but then it picked up and I got hooked. Sam is an ex-CIA that wants his kid back from the Nine Suns. The Nine Suns are a criminal organization comprised of criminals from around the world. They will give Sam his kid back, if he kills someone for them.

A moving fictional account of a Taiwanese American girl with disordered eating, told in comics format. The author‘s note at the end says she based this on her own experiences and that doesn‘t surprise me because it rings so true.

Images can carry so much that isn‘t in the text. In this scene, it‘s clear that a football player is giving Jordan an appreciative look, but in the next panel we see Jordan‘s friend Valerie thinking Jordan is sadly delusional. That no football player would look twice at Jordan because she‘s fat. Valerie can‘t see what‘s right in front of her, including the fact that she herself has disordered eating.

Remember, don‘t eat, just taste.
[Her mother‘s instructions are about not eating her own birthday cake.]
