Really interesting really good in some parts others not as much but I think that’s because I don’t gravitate towards graphic novels too much but the art was cool and I enjoyed and learnt from it :)

Iranian Girlhood Tale!

This is so touching, overwhelming and cool and yet so simply and lucidly described. The journey starts with the will to become a prophet, communism and further takes forms of self-discoveries and rebellion. It has peaks of tear-jerking and even wildly-funny. The sequential art is just so cute. The book revolves around frowns and chuckles with a lingering train of thought around some serious coming-of-age phases that tends to make her so precocious and outspoken. So harrowing and so beautiful.

I've even started reading the sequel.
