dark

3.5

starts off strong, the emotions r all there. we explore more of the mc - but the others r more on the periphery of development. the title “slip” is perfect - slip as the medium in ceramics making that keeps things together and “slip” the emotional state of jade as she slips through confusion, anger, sadness about her friends suicide attempt. Love the art style and element of magic.

archerkel's review

emotional

3.0

Jade is a young ceramic artist who goes to a competitive art camp, but is struggling through a difficult time with a lot of heavy emotions. Those feelings show up in her art in unexpected ways. I do think this is a good book for anyone learning to grieve and feel their feelings, however I would definitely check trigger warnings before recommending this book to anyone.
