Too big. Too small. Wanting to feel special. Never feeling like you're enough. When you're different from everybody else, the world cuts hard and sharp like a knife.
Through her school days, where she must negotiate a precarious balancing act between her culture and fitting in, to her teenage years where appetites must be managed to keep up appearances, to her early adulthood where responsibilities feel overwhelming, Divya journeys from feelings of emptiness to once again finding fulfilment within.
To the Last Gram is an honest and hopeful story of feeling at odds with and finding a home in one's community, family, and body, and of the unfurling journey to embrace the fullness of life.
"Visceral and unflinching" -- Kirkus Reviews
"To the Last Gram is a beautifully honest exploration of living with disordered eating and body image. But it's also, most meaningful to me, an interrogation of what "recovery" from mental illness means, and the ways in which recovery is never linear..." -- Keezy Young, Hello Sunshine
"To The Last Gram is a wonderful comic about the insidiousness of disordered eating and the difficult journey of recovery in a society where body shaming and diet culture are so often masked as 'healthy.'" -- Jade Armstrong, Food School
