This book is very nicely done, some great art, and purely in black and white. Only problem with this book is that is weights about as much as the 7th Harry Potter book, and is taller so it doesn't make for the easiest book to carry around.
This book is broken into twelve chapters and each one takes place in a different city, but the main character Megan is central to about 10 of the 12 and is in the other 2 in some way. It is telling the story of her life as she drives to figure out where she belongs, and what she should be doing. She travels from Nova Scotia and Toronto to Montana and Virginia. Covers almost all areas of Canada and the U.S. As with life, not every this is easy or smooth, and neither is the life of Megan. She struggles in almost every city she goes. Trying to fit in, and trying to find where she belongs. When reading this, I noticed the chapter titles more than the city that the chapter takes place in, but it is something that you should be paying attention to.
The book has some backup information in the back of the book, like what the the writer and artist were thinking for each chapter. After skimming it, and will read it all and probably go back and re-read this again.
