About the Author

Sweeney is a comic artist and illustrator living in Montreal, Canada. She grew up in the southwest of France, where she studied graphic design and listened to really loud rock music. She started working as a comic letterer and colorist for french publishers right after graduation, while pursuing her dream of being a comic artist. In 2015 she made the decision to move to Montreal, Canada. One short year after the big jump across the ocean she started working at a mobile game company as a 2D Artist. She never lost sight of her true dream though, so she continued to draw comics during the nights and weekends. Her comic debut happened during the summer 2016 when she created a cover and a short story for Rat Queens (Image Comics). Later on, in December 2016 she launched a Kickstarter campaign for her first graphic novel called "Eat, and Love Yourself", a 150-page story about eating disorders, depression, body dysmorphia, and ultimately self-love; a subject really important to her. The book was financed and picked up by Boom! Studios in 2019, for publication in 2020. In 2017, she had the chance to work on the costume designs of America Chavez, Inferno, and Patriot for the show "Marvel Rising", combining two of her favorite things, fashion and superheroes. Today Sweeney lives a happy, full time freelance life of drawing all day, watching a lot of Game of Thrones and eating a lot of nice cheeses. All the while being kept company by her feline assistant Loki, who doesn't do much except sit pretty while being a fluff. Sweeney loves drawings edgy fashion ladies, especially if they are witches. She works now for various publishers such as Boom! Studios, Archie Comics, IDW, Marvel, and Image comics. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

The story here, about a girl who struggles with disordered eating, body issues, and a touch of depression, was a really relatable read and very engaging. The art was really nice!

Reductive

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

As a psychologist who specializes in eating disorders - I found this story reductive, trite, and borderline offensive.

The author should have spoken to more people dealing with this life threading disease. It’s not about the food - it never really about the food.

Important, poignant and emotional.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 11, 2020

Eat, and Love Yourself looks at the relationship a person can have with themselves when they're struggling with an eating disorder. this story is told in such a beautiful and meaningful way, accompanied by stunning illustrations. I couldn't put it down. I am so grateful I was able to review this early and will be encouraging people to pick it up.

If you are struggling, in any way, please reach out to someone.

Relevant and heartbreaking

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 22, 2020

This graphic novel is about a girl named Mindy who has always struggled with her weight and body image. In the story the reader is introduced to Mindy's closest friend, her parents, and her potential love interests. Mindy struggles with body dysmorphia and bulimia, and everyone around her seems to contribute to her problems by the way they talk to her. One day, she buys a candy bar from the store that tells her to eat and love herself. Mindy then has a series of flashbacks that may help her change her outlook on life, if only she can turn off those negative voices in her head...

Just like Mindy, I have struggled with my weight and perception of myself for most of my life. I sympathized with her, was angry, and was sad to the point of tears as I read her story. The artwork was powerful and thought provoking, and I believe the art added so much essential emotion and impact to the story. While I don't endorse the life choices made by the characters or the profanity used, the biggest thing that bothered me was that Mindy's story stopped abruptly and it didn't seem like much was going to change for her. I don't think her parents or her best friend really understood what they were doing to her when they made snide comments about her weight or eating habits. At least Elliott cared for Mindy because of who she was as a person and not just because of her appearance. I recommend this book with hesitation because the author did shed some light on how awful it is to have an eating disorder and not have any positive support, but at the same time, I don't think the abrupt ending portrayed a positive outcome because some loose ends were left untied.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. A positive review was not required, and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Chocolate and Self-Love

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 21, 2020

I was received an advanced copy of Eat, and Love Yourself from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review!

Mindy is having a hard time loving herself, so when she stumbles across an “Eat, and Love Yourself” chocolate bar with the ability to show formative moments from her past, she is naturally a bit disturbed. She’s been living with an eating disorder from a young age, and has constantly struggle with changing her habits and accepting who she is. When the chocolate bar takes her back through time, however, she begins to realize that her eating disorder has its roots in the way she was treated as a child. With the help of a little reflection on her past, Mindy just might learn the power of eating and loving herself at the same time.

You can get your copy of Eat, and Love Yourself on April 21st from BOOM! Box!

Sweeney Boo and Lilian Klepakowsky have created a heartfelt graphic novel that I will not soon forget in Eat, and Love Yourself. This book has a poignant and empathetic way of looking at eating disorders. It truly speaks to the idea that each person is made of the events of their past, and that we should love ourselves no matter what we’ve been through. I was also a big fan of the artistic style of the novel, especially the fashion choices made for the characters!

My Recommendation-
If you’ve been going through a tough time recently, and are needing a story about self-love and self-discovery, Eat, and Love Yourself would be a good pick for your next read! Also, if you are a fan of magical realism, this book has a time traveling chocolate bar, which is one of the most creative things I’ve read in a long time!

Good story, great artwork, overall, very well done

Really love this book. Simple, sweet and deals with a lot of real issues in a very well thought out way. The artwork is excellent, the drawing of Mindy (the protagonist) is what got me looking into this book, but such a good vibe to the design. Overall, I really enjoyed it, a good read

Incredible

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

I used to save every Instagram post of artwork Sweeney put up because of how she drew her characters bodies. They were always different, always relatable.
I looked forward to this comic for years, and it was so worth the wait.
It's really difficult to talk to people about how you see your body, how you fill the void and how it feels, so to have a comic like this that j can show to my partner, my family, and let them see kind of what I go through, it's so beautiful to have.

Thank you Sweeney!

Tolle Illustratorin, Geschichte leider keine Tiefe

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on May 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

Die Geschichte hat eigentlich alles was man braucht um eine kurze, gute Graphic Novel entstehen zu lassen. Eine interessante Protagonistin, nette Sidecharaktere, schöner Artstyle/Coloration und ein (eigentlich gleich mehrere) Problemthemen die man mit der Protagonistin durchmacht. Leider fehlt es der Story unheimlich an Tiefe, die es aber bräuchte um sie wirklich fühlen und nachvollziehen zu können. Man fühlt sich in die Story reingeworfen und bevor man richtig drin ist ist sie schon wieder vorbei. Das Hauptthema der Story behandelt unter anderem Depression, Essstörung und Body Dismorphia, wie schon gesagt aber leider absolut oberflächlich. Man kann sich nicht richtig in die Protagonistin einfühlen und sie verstehen. Ich hätte mir gut eine Reihe der Geschichte vorstellen können, vielleicht 3 oder 4 Bände. Im Endeffekt hat der One-Shot nichts in mir ausgelößt außer die Lust auf mehr, die aber wohl nicht erfüllt wird. So lässt er mich etwas frustriert zurück.
