Pretty weird and difficult to get into at first because everything is so fragmented. But towards the end, it makes sense. The book portrayed the teenage emotion really well. Raw and authentic.

Interesting story but didn't really go anywhere. Felt it needed a bit more. Love the drawings though

A physical representation of teenage ennui. I find Raleigh relatable and this graphic novel reminded me of being in my late teens and trying to make sense of what was happening around me and to me when I didn’t have the language or perspective yet.

An account of a teenage girl's battle with depression and isolation. I wish there'd been more resolution than the few pages at the end, which were admittedly beautifully written. I think this would be best appreciated by teens in Raliegh's situation.

Decent coming of age comic but nothing I’ll remember in a weeks time. Could’ve used more depth and it really didn’t feel like the three friends had a reason to exist other than to fuel the main girl’s development, especially the guys.
