A review by dlberglund
Almost American Girl by Robin Ha

4.0

Robin's story about emigrating from South Korea to Alabama as an adolescent was poignant and full of hope. The racism and isolation she experienced at school plus the gender expectations and isolation she experienced in her new “home” drive much of the story telling. Her story is her own story, and she doesn't leave out the parts that make her look awkward or riddled with teenage angst. She makes is through, and obviously gets to live her dream, making comics.
