Graphic Novel review - Lighter Than My Shadow by Katie Green

Lighter Than My Shadow By Katie Green Pub Date 03 Oct 2017 ISBN 9781941302415 Lighter than my shadow is an incredible autobiography chronicling the life and struggles Katie faced with body issues and eating disorders throughout her life. This novel is in the top five of any graphic novel I have yet read and after reading a previous publication I have thrust it on many people telling them they need to read it. The story follows Katie throughout her family life, her school life, and also some personal and very unfortunate events all of which have been affected by this disorder. The are works perfectly with the story, describing her condition as a black cloud that hangs over her so as she gets worse the cloud gets darker and larger. My favourite point is as she gets so bad that she blacks out, the cloud grows so large that the page is engulfed so all you can see is black, just as she had. This is a must buy for anyone, you will not regret it!
