0When I saw this comic on NetGalley I decided that I HAD to read it because I'm a huge fan of the artist and have been following her on social media for a while.
So in the comic we follow the author, Beanie, from childhood into adulthood after being visited by time traveling baby Beanie (which I found really funny and unique).
Some of the panels I had already read them in Alina's instagram account but I still enjoyed them.
The comic feels very relatable and nostalgic especially in the "baby Beanie" and "teenage Beanie" phase. Even though we all might live somehow differently I bet that there are some panels to which one could think "that happened to me when I was a kid" or "I have also felt like that, it's good to see that someone is going through the same". As for example, moving to a new city and having to make new friends or just having a bad day for no apparent reason besides the fact of feeling sad.
Overall the theme of the book is very lighthearted and funny but it does have some moments where it depicts anxiety and depression. Making the reader invested in the story and making the book even more relatable.
