Review:
This was a book that I read in one sitting and had to step outside to get some fresh air afterward to dispel the awkward feelings. It chronicles the author/artist’s sophomore year in high school and is packed with teenage angst and confusion that comes with the age.
I was not overly impressed with the artwork, it is not a style that I instinctually liked. It felt a bit scattered and too much packed in one frame. I gave the book a shot because it was recommended after reading some other books and the library had it in stock. Other reviews note that the artist improved significantly in her later works so I will keep an open mind if I come across them, but won’t be seeking them out.

Rating: 3 stars!
