Book review:
" Wesley Yorstead Goes Outside" explores the life of Wesley Yorstead, a thirty-three-year-old graphic novelist who suffers from a severe case of agoraphobia that has kept him shut inside for over five years. He has not left his apartment in years. He has built a life around his routine and work as a graphic artist. When the young women who delivers his groceries comes to him in crisis, he is forced to test the boundaries that he has come to depend on. 

Stephanie Harper uses the main character to take a deeper look into something we hear about but don’t really think about. As the main character asks questions and goes through life, we contemplate right there with him.Written in a concise and easy to follow way, it brings a lot of depth while being an easy read. 

Overall, This book is a sweet, funny, and thought-provoking , intriguing read. The book  asks the reader to consider what our fears take away from our lives, and how we might overcome them. Refreshing characters, their relationships and interactions and ultimately their self-discovery and ability to overcome. Loved it completely!
