The story is funny and lighthearted but in true YA style it does touch on deeper ideas, opening the door for exploration. In this collection feminism, drug use and sexuality are highlighted.
The illustrations are vibrant, bright and full of humour. The exaggerated expressions and movements are great. I loved that the characters were 'in on the joke', chanting "flashback" at each other immediately before one appears.
Giant Days is fun but not frivolous, it's a quick read to enjoy again and again.
