This is a work of art. I deeply connected with the images and the words. They blend together and take you effortlessly on the journey through both the inner and outer seasons. It is a story of how creativity and our concept of self changes through the year, how nature still can impact our world view, our identity. Loved this and feel inspired to create and to be mindful of myself.

The artwork in this book is absolutely gorgeous and beautifully fits with the words. There are parts of this book that felt so strong because of how universal aspects were. Other parts felt more specific and fell a little more flat. This is what I most struggled with; I was not sure how I was suppose to be experiencing this book. Was it meant as more of a memoir in which I related to the character and in turn better understood myself? Was it meant as a more general journey about emotions that turn as with the seasons? Because I wondered about this, I struggled with just experiencing the book.

Beautifully drawn and beautifully written. It is heartfelt and brave for her to share her feelings as they change through the year. It is easy to connect with her as we all have had similar responses to the changes in our environment. I am sure this is beautiful in print.

This book is a reflection on feeling depressed or anxiety feelings.
I like how it uses the seasons as a metaphor for how you can go thru the phases of depression.
This book is very relatable and great for anyone who may have the same difficulty.

diverse graphic (mental health, anxiety, seasons) - short (16? pages, including front and back matter) art journal/graphic novel based loosely or perhaps closely on the author's experiences with anxiety and depression over the six seasons observed in some South Asian countries. From a UK-based artist and author of color--see Manjit Thapp's insta @manjitthapp for an impressive collection of work and even some lovely/quirky fan art.

Gorgeous color illustrations paired with sparse, lyrical prose. If you like poetry, it is poetry! If you don't like poetry, don't worry--it is sparse prose. If you like artwork portraying the expressions of a person of color, hooray!
I am happy to have "discovered" this book--thanks, Netgalley! (And thanks, Random House, even though you are not always very kind to libraries with your ebook vending practices!) I look forward to seeing this in print (not the same as an ebook) and recommending it to others.
