"I still wonder how I got there from cream soda and pizza pops."

Take It as a Compliment is a collection of short comics that display the diverse issues surrounding sexual assault, abuse, and harassment. It explores a diverse range of experiences: across the gender spectrum, straight and gay, from one to multiple assaults; by strangers and trusted people. This collection is very, very important and full of emotion. The illustrations show a great use of color and blending to illustrate concepts such as being drugged.

Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.

This book is like a slap in the face. Especially for a woman. It's hard to watch and read, and marvelous at the same time. Perfect colors, simple drawings but with a huge impact on the reader. Definitely something everyone should read!

This is such a powerful graphic novel. All of these stories are so raw, and so real
