From Goodreads:

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.

Davis's story was told very well.  It was succinct, and I wanted to keep turning the pages.  Also, her brutal honesty was appreciated.  The illustrations were spot on, but Davis is a real person, so I think I would have preferred a little less cartoonish.
