Why read it?
1 author picked It's All Absolutely Fine as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Another comic book—this is a collection of Ruby’s comics which are both very silly and always have an emotional core of truth to them. Her loose art style is incredibly evocative of the chaotic experience that is being alive, which is something I also wanted to capture in my own book.

Her work is also available widely on social media as Ruby Etc so I recommend starting there.
From Emily's list on The best books to alleviate dread.
