A really lovely interpretation of how our most revered icons can permeate our lives. As a KM fan, it was a gorgeous and unique read!

Great concept and pairing of parallel stories, and I appreciate the research and energy that went into the sections about Mansfield. However, the memoir elements seemed tedious, and I didn't relate to the narrator enough to be moved by her mistakes and successes. Although I read and write cursive, I found the cursive text unenjoyable and sometimes difficult to parse.

I thought this was so beautiful, and so much of the teenage move to Wellington/local scenery/wistful small town nz teenager felt so genuine and relatable to me. I also love reading graphic novels about parenthood. The Katherine Mansfield sections totally intrigued me too.
I think my fave thing about this book was the art, I want so many of the bigger illustrations as framed prints!
Reason it's not a 5 is because I feel like the two storylines could have been woven together a bit more smoothly or organically or something?
