Summary
This searing graphic memoir portrays gun violence through a fresh lens, giving it urgency, humanity, and a very personal hope.

Critics Review
*“Via realistic dialogue, tense relationship dynamics, and turbulent emotional highs and lows, Neely astutely asserts the importance of hopeful defiance in the face of the numbness and resignation that often accompanies feelings of powerlessness.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review
“I started Numb to This right before the shootings at the grocery store in Buffalo. I finished it the day before the shootings at the elementary school in Texas.

This searing, raw, and honest account offers a window to those who want to empathize, and a mirror for those of us who may find ourselves in her shoes.”–April Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Girl, Stolen
