"First off, not Likewise deadnaming ND. Second of all, holy crap it's- emotional and touching and the art really helps. It's amazing to see how ND managed to make it through the worst parts of his life, overcoming them and making it out the other end, even if not fully unscathed or okay."

"I like the photos and drawings.<br/><br/>I just wish the author went into more detail about everything and talked more about her life. It was really surface level and focused mostly on her achievements."

"I really don't like giving memoirs lower ratings, but it was just okay for me. It felt like I was on a continuous scroll through Tumblr. A bit "boring" but still a quick and enlightening read."

"I found this a bit scattered and hard to fully follow what was happening. I agree with another reviewer that said this is meaningful to Noelle Stevenson, but as an outsider I didn't really connect. Her year end summaries also often went against what we previously saw (i.e. they presented all her achievements but we saw all the emotional turmoil she had)--which she does address in the end. She also is vague about certain situations, making it even more difficult to comprehend. I like her work, but this one fell flat for me."
