Edward Scissorhands Vol. 2: Whole Again by Kate Leth
5.0
Absolutely loved the second part of this series, and I wish there were more volumes! I was not expecting to cry as much as I did.
This volume follows Edward as he applies for a reality show, with the intent of becoming “normal”. Some of the themes and dialogue hit much, much closer to home than I expected, seeing that, as a child, I wanted nothing more than to be seen as “normal” and to fit in. But as we see in this narrative arc, trying to change who you are just to conform rarely produces positive results, and the right people will love you because of who you are, not in spite of. And that is something I wish I had known when I was younger. (Also, don’t trust reality tv hosts, but we all already knew that).
Anyway, tl;dr this was a fantastic read and I only wish there were more! Many thanks to Teisha for lending me it and for listening to me cry about my feelings.
