About this ebook
*ORIGINAL SERIES NOW STREAMING ON NETFLIX*
From the creator of THE END OF THE FUCKING WORLD
'Scary, disturbing and expertly executed . . good if not better than Forsman's most celebrated precursor.' GROVEL
Fifteen-year-old Syd feels totally out of place. She's skinny but not 'hot-skinny', she's dealing with the death of her father in silence, and her best friend (who Syd is really in love with) is dating a homophobic bully. Syd's guidance counselor gives her a diary in which to vent her frustration, but Syd has another outlet for her anger, one which threatens to overwhelm her entirely.
From acclaimed cartoonist Charles Forsman, I Am Not Okay With This expertly channels teenage ennui while telling a powerful story about the intense and sometimes violent tug of war between trauma and control.

JEEZ. Definitely did not expect that ending but can't say I did not see it coming! Intense man. I enjoyed the narrative and depicted struggle of main character.

Damn... That was intense. Read it in one sitting after finishing the show on Netflix. They're definitely different enough that I could enjoy and be surprised by both. Really liked it. However, why does description of the book say 192 pages when it's only 179? Am I missing pages?
