Honor Girl: A Graphic Memoir by Maggie Thrash
4.0
Such a beautiful and fun story! I felt completely transported into the world of this book, and it definitely gave me that summer-camp vibe. I really loved Maggie's character, and I thought all of the side characters were really fun as well. It was a really wonderful look into how Maggie dealt with her sexuality in such an important time in her life. It all had this ringing sense of realism, which is really good as it is a graphic memoir.
As far as the art style, it was not what I was expecting at all, but it didn't take me very long to adjust and get into it. In the end, I actually felt like the art style fit the story, so I don't think it detracted from my reading experience at all.
My only problem with this book was honestly (and I've heard a lot of people say this) how abrupt the ending was? I've read books where that hasn't bothered me, but the end of this graphic novel felt SO sudden, and it sort of felt like I had been left in a lurch, not knowing what happened to anyone, let alone just the main character. That was really my only issue with an otherwise fantastic graphic novel, which I would still highly recommend.
