I overall enjoyed this graphic memoir a lot. Really appreciated Siobhan Gallagher鈥檚 honesty about her issues with self-esteem, body image, self-harm, and more throughout her life. Her drawings were engaging and aesthetically appealing to the eye so I didn鈥檛 feel like I was 鈥渨orking鈥� to get through Full of Myself. Though the contents were sometimes sad, her colorful illustrations and sense of humor were refreshing and real. Loved her analysis of the media and her candor about the many instances she faced of men objectifying her in gross and sexist ways.

I liked Gallagher鈥檚 veracity about the messiness of her life through many stages and that she also wrote about her healing process. Several of her steps toward healing resonated with my experience of recovering from disordered eating, like reading and deeply internalizing feminist writing about body image (thank you Appetites by Caronline Knapp!!), engaging in intuitive and mindful eating, and doing exercise that feels pleasurable and isn鈥檛 focused on weight loss (I haven鈥檛 weighed myself in years). I understand there are limitations to Gallagher鈥檚 narrative given her many privileges as a white, mid-sized, college-educated, cisgender woman, though I felt that she acknowledged these constraints and wrote from her a heartfelt place within them.
