Well, buckle up for a magical ride because I Feel Awful, Thanks by Lara Pickle is here to whisk you away on a journey of self-acceptance with a generous sprinkle of enchantment!
Joana, our young witch protagonist, lands her dream job in the vibrant city of London. A place where she can whip up potions, her absolute favorite pastime! But, surprise surprise, city life isn't all rainbows and unicorn glitter. Finding a flat turns into a mission, her dream job becomes a bit of a stress-fest, and loneliness sets in. Yet, as the saying goes, "when the going gets tough, the tough get going."
Joana starts finding her groove, but oh boy, fatigue, sadness, and doubt come knocking on her door. Enter a wise professional who drops some truth bombs - self-care starts with self-awareness.
Now, let me gush about the illustrations. Stunning is an understatement! Lara Pickle, take a bow! The graphic novel weaves the heavy topic of mental health into a tale of magic and self-discovery. Joana's journey through the chaos of a new job, annoying roommates, and the daunting city life is oh-so-relatable.
The characters, especially Joana's supportive squad, bring depth and warmth to the narrative. It's a charming read that hits the sweet spot, especially for those sailing through the stormy seas of mental health. Trust me, even if you're just dealing with a tiny wave of emotions, this one's for you!
Big shoutout to NetGalley and OniPress for the ARC! All my thoughts about this graphic novel are as authentic as Joana's magical potions.
