    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    From celebrated author and illustrator Debbie Tung comes My Perfectly Imperfect Body, a frank, honest, and deeply vulnerable graphic memoir that chronicles the author’s journey of overcoming body-image struggles throughout her youth and young adult years.

    Debbie Tung has a simple and gentle message: your body is worthy of being treated with kindness and love at any size.
    &&&160;
    Illustrated in her unique personal style, Tung shares the experiences of her teenage years and how growing into a mature body combined with teenage angst, vulnerability, and the pressure on girls to be thin and pretty spiraled her into disordered eating. She became obsessed with exercising and dieting, but no matter how much weight she lost, it was never enough. She spent the next few years trying to heal her eating habits, learning about self-love, and finally making peace with her body.

    My Perfectly Imperfect Body is her story and one she shares with many survivors of a thin-obsessed media. She hopes her gentle comics provide a safe space to rest on whichever healing journey you find yourself on as you read.

    My Perfectly Imperfect Body&&&160;by Debbie Tung is an unflinching exploration of body image, self-doubt and resilience. In her most honest and vulnerable graphic memoir yet, Tung delves into the damaging societal pressures of the early 2000s, revealing how well-meaning comments and impossible beauty standards can distort a young girl’s perception of her body.

    Through heartfelt honesty and poignant drawings, Tung bravely recounts her teenage years through disordered eating and self-criticism, and invites readers to not only see their own struggles but also to recognize the broader cultural forces at play. The most comforting message of the story is that you weren&&&39;t the only one who experienced this. It wasn’t you—it was the media trying to sell you an unrealistic ideal. And maybe even your mother, but she was brainwashed too.

    This graphic memoir sheds light on how societal expectations shaped an entire generation’s relationship with their bodies. While it doesn’t shy away from a triggering topic, it shines as a story of healing and hope, and tells you to be compassionate with yourself.&&&160;My Perfectly Imperfect Body is a powerful reminder that self-love is hard-fought but worth the battle." (Marloes De Vries, artist and author of Having Children Is Optional)
