520    "A witty and one-of-a-kind debut graphic memoir detailing 
       and drawing the life of a girl with borderline personality
       disorder finding her way-and herself-one day at a time. 
       What does it feel like to fall in love too hard and too 
       fast, to hate yourself in equal and opposite measure? To 
       live in such fear of rejection that you drive friends and 
       lovers away? Welcome to my world. I'm Courtney, and I have
       borderline personality disorder (BPD), along with over 
       four million other people in the United States. Though 
       I've shown every classic symptom of the disorder since 
       childhood, I wasn't properly diagnosed until nearly a 
       decade later, because the prevailing theory is that most 
       people simply "grow out of it." Not me. In my illustrated 
       memoir The Way She Feels: My Life on the Borderline in 
       Pictures and Pieces, I share what it's been like to live 
       and love with this disorder. Not just the hospitalizations,
       treatments, and residential therapy, but the moments I 
       found comfort in cereal, the color pink, or mini corn 
       dogs; the days I couldn't style my hair because I thought 
       the blow-dryer was going to hurt me; the peace I found 
       when someone I love held me. This is a book about 
       vulnerability, honesty, acceptance, and how to speak 
       openly-not only with doctors, co-patients, friends, family,
       or partners, but also with ourselves"--|cProvided by
