The novel was amazing, but the graphic novel adaptation does not benefit the original story.

The original version of this book is one of my all-time favorites. When I saw that this graphic novel version existed I was especially pleased. I did feel that some of the plot points were rushed compared to the regular print edition. Still, the illustrations were lovingly done, and I loved falling in love with Juliet’s growth all over again.

Absolutely incredible. The story alone is amazing, addressing hard and important topics of whitewashed feminism, queer BIPOC spaces, and reserving the privilege of your friendship and love for those who value you and respect you, but the graphic novel took the story to a whole new level. The artwork was beautiful and for me made all the emotions of the story even deeper and richer. I would recommend reading the original book first, and then picking up the graphic novel.

This was a really fun adaptation of the book Juliet Takes a Breath. Some things changed, yeah. I think they did a good job of making things work, and I actually felt like some of the changes were appropriate and more well suited to Juliet and the other characters. I'd definitely give this a read after reading the book, though.
