Purchase options and add-ons

At once punk rock and poignant, Ink in Water is the visceral and groundbreaking graphic memoir of a young woman's devastating struggle with negative body image and eating disorders, and how she rose above her own destructive behaviors and feelings of inadequacy to live a life of strength and empowerment.

As a young artist living in Portland, Lacy Davis' eating disorder began with the germ of an idea: a seed of a thought that told her she just wasn't good enough. And like ink in water, that idea spread until it reached every corner of her being. This is the true story of Lacy's journey into the self-destructive world of multiple eating disorders. It starts with a young and positive Lacy, trying to grapple with our culture's body-image obsession and stay true to her riot grrrl roots. And while she initially succeeds in overcoming a nagging rumination about her body, a break up with a recovering addict starts her on a collision course with anorexia, health food obsession, and compulsive exercise addiction.

At the request of her last real friend, she starts going to a twelve-step Overeaters Anonymous course, only to find that it conflicts with her punk feminist ideology. Blending bold humor, a healthy dose of self-deprecation, vulnerability, literary storytelling, and dynamic and provocative artwork by illustrator Jim Kettner, Ink in Water is an unflinching, brutally honest look into the author's mind: how she learned to take control of her damaging thoughts, redirect her perfectionism from self-destructive behaviors into writing and art, and how she committed herself to a life of health, strength, and nourishment.

This is an important memoir about dealing with an eating disorder. It doesn't pull any punches and goes to very dark places. It is also very funny and one of the most life affirming books I've read in years. Ink in Water also contains some of the most savvy cartooning around. Kett knows how to visually pace a story and draws the hell out of this book. To me the most impressive thing about the book is the telepathic connection Lacy and Kett must have in order to share Lacy's incredible story in such a profound way. There are many fine graphic novels that address self-help themes and struggles with mental health/compulsive thinking, but this book jumps to the head of the class by both diving head first into the speceficity of Lacy's experience, (it is odd how the more specific one is about their life the more universal the work is), and providing a way path for others to work through their own struggles. This book will transform many a life, and it's good comics. What higher endorsement is there?

3.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't read - Low Res

I'm sure this was a great story. It had cool pictures and what I could read seemed interesting. But I'm trying to read on kindle in my iPad and most of the text was WAY too small, and too low res to zoom in on. 3 stars because it's not the books fault I couldn't read it and it did seem cool, even tho I couldn't really enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars incredibly tasteful, incredibly honest, incredibly mindful of the reader and their risks

I have been following Lacy for a while through their various podcasts. I looked forward to reading this book for months, and it did not disappoint. I resonated so much with Lacy, with the artwork, with the story, with the mission. The quality of the book is great and at an amazing price for such good work. I would also like to point out that this was not a triggering book for me, personally. I know that many books on ED recovery can really just make your situation worse. You might not have the same experience as me, but I personally found this to be incredibly tasteful, incredibly honest, incredibly mindful of the reader and their risks, etc. Really incredible all around. I read it all in one sitting and smiled and laughed and thanked the universe (and Lacy and Kett!) that this book was put out into the world!

5.0 out of 5 stars Touching and poignant
Reviewed in the United States on 27 September 2017

I devoured this book in one sitting and it stayed on my mind for a long time afterward. Lacy's memoir is funny, poignant, touching, and real. For anyone who has ever struggled with an eating disorder, the way she describes what happens in your head is so spot on. The illustrations are perfect and really bring the story to life, as does knowing that her partner (featured in the book) drew them (the love story is sweet and I really loved its inclusion). I would recommend Lacy's book to anyone who has struggled with eating disorders and body image, especially if they aren't "normal" girls. I also appreciate that the ending was hopeful while also remaining completely realistic. This book is truly a work of art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Came for the art, stayed for the feels
Reviewed in the United States on 19 September 2017

I started seeing art from this book pop up in social media a while back, and really liked the style. I appreciate graphic novels that stray from the hard black line/solid color fill tradition, so I kept an eye out for new images as they appeared. Through that attention, I started to see a little of the story, and was intrigued. Having grown up a disaffected punk, and over the years struggling with how my punk ideals balanced with being an adult, the concept of a punk memoir really grabbed me.

Fast forward to today: My pre-order finally arrived and I am happy to report that the book lives up to my high expectations. That art is gorgeous, cover to cover, not one of those books where you see a ton of gorgeous work ahead of time, only to find that they were the covers, and a centerfold, but the rest of the book is more boring and traditional. This is beautifully painted (I know, it is digital, but let's not be Luddites here) on every single page. The story is just as engaging. I have only had time to read the first couple of chapters, but I already can't wait for my bus ride home to read more.
