I’m actually so angry that I read this.
The synopsis and advertising make this seem like such a fun and cute graphic novel about Avril Lavigne, but it’s not. I feel like they used her name just to drag in the fans.
This is not a fun story. It’s dark and horrible and unnecessary and I’m upset that I was drawn into this because of false and misleading advertising.
Trigger Warning: for pretty much everything: suicide, cyber impersonations / bullying, murder, divorce, some family abuse, depression, suicidal thoughts
Just ...avoid this if you can.

This was a retelling of the monkey's paw where it involves a little girl making wishes to a demon instead. All of her wishes backfire. This was not a happy story or a very enjoyable one.
It features Avril Lavigne as a minor character who the poor girl pretends is her best friend. I had picked up the book because I am an Avril Lavigne fan from my childhood and teen years. This story had very little to do with Avril so I was rather disappointed.
It's a very quick read but not very hopeful or uplifting. 2.5 stars, probably wouldn't suggest.
