This was an interesting concept. What if, on your 18th birthday, you hit a piñata and instead of candy, you get three other versions of yourself, past and future? It’s a look at healing yourself and understanding that sometimes you have to do stuff that makes you uncomfortable.
It just felt a little lacking in the execution. It was also a great look at how we self sabotage ourselves, but the 29 year old never explained how she got there and there were a couple little holes. Like, who was the lady who gave it to her? I don’t know.
It was good, not great.

I thought the premise had real promise, but it turned out to be pretty hokey. The future Graces weren't really developed at all, which was a shame since there was a lot of potential there. I also thought that Lily should have been discussed for more than 2 pages, given that she is in the title.
On the plus side, I loved the illustrations.

Grace at 18 encounters her past self and two future selves. Good short graphic novel for a rainy day to keep you entertained for a hour or two.

Decent graphic novel, but aimed at young adults. It was a fast read, but didn't hold my interest that well.

The title captures only a small part of this story about a girl who suddenly finds herself saddled with versions of herself at 7-ish, 20-ish, and 80-ish, each with their own baggage from the past.

i enjoyed it but i question the idea that not dating one guy in high school means you will end up sad and lonely forever. noooooot sure how derek kirk kim didn't look at his plotline and question whether that was really what he wanted to write into his ya graphic novel for girls

Loved it. I wish Kim did the art too. Something as irrevocable as the passage of time creates a lot of room for creative fantasies and Good as Lily presents a "be careful what you wish for" scenario which is always one small step from becoming woefully mismanaged. Not quite Same Difference but it's still very good for something to pick up for a quick read.

I loved the unique perspective of Lily's life from different ages.
