dark informative sad tense slow-paced

2.5

Uff, this was a real slog to get through. I really admire the author’s courage to tell her story and everything she has been through, but I don’t think it was accomplished well in graphic novel format. I had a card time connecting to the story, which may just be because I can’t relate to what the author has gone through. Just felt like more of a slog to get through than anything.
