A gorgeous and emotional journey of a witch who explores her emotions in a struggle of self-acceptance, work place drama, and new experiences. Joana is a young witch who has secured her dream job with a coven in London. She's starting a new job in a new city and has to learn to adapt to a whole new environment and making new friends. Yet the reality of a new job is vastly different from the dream she built, now she's dealing with a difficult job environment, stressful and lonely thoughts as she struggles with a hard roommate, relationship drama, and her own feelings spiraling. She feels like everything is falling apart... until she begins talking to a professional who helps her realize that in order to take care of herself she has to learn more about herself and self love. This was a really sweet read and I enjoyed the journey we went on with Joana as she learned to stand up for her work, to love herself, and to open herself up.

(I received this book from the editor and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review)
I think the best way of describing my love for this comic book is confessing that I already read the Spanish original and I was eagerly waiting for the English ARC so I could tell you all how amazing it is.
Joana is a young with who finds a job in London, her favourite city, creating potions, her favourite thing. So far, so good. Then London is not as she imagined, the stress in the job is too much for her to handle and she finds herself lost, lonely and, above all, feeling awful. And there are no potions to cure that.
I feel awful, thanks, is a fantasy comic book, but it is also an amazingly accurate depiction of how mental health can deteriorate and how important it is to find help. The way the author manages to convey her main character’s feelings with the use of cracks and other elements that disturb the appearance of the comic strips themselves is just perfect and makes it very easy for the reader to understand Joana’s mind state. The colours are breathtaking as well, changing throughout the story and exploding in catharsis.
I really liked this comic book and I even wrote some of the advices down; I am sure they will be useful whenever needed. And I know I will come back to the story as well, more than once, more than twice. I just hope it resonates with you as strongly as it did with me.
