Un très beau roman graphique et l’histoire est très bien décrite de plus le dessin est en accord avec l’histoire. J’ai autant adoré le roman que cette adaptation !

What a deep story about coming of age and trying to live through the unthinkable happening to you while also trying to survive high school. It’s poignant and sad. It really captures the pain of being violated and trying to find your way when control was taken from you. Painful, sad and ultimately necessary so people know they are not alone.
