A lovely graphic memoir about someone’s journey to finding themself, their passion, and career, told from their earliest memories up until where they are now.
Memoirs in a graphic novel format are relatively new to me but once again, I am not disappointed. I really enjoyed this for both its art style and story. I related to the main character, or in this case the author, and her journey to discovering what she loved and would be her future career. I also took time to figure out where I wanted to go and what I’d do with the skills and passions I had so this felt familiar and almost cathartic. It was also fun to see where I how I knew the art at the end with the pages displaying some of Liz Montague’s more known work.

A really simple memoir. It had a cute art style, and I liked the afterward with what her career has been like, but it was very straightforward.

This is a very good graphic memoir for young people about the author/illustrator’s formative years. She lives with dyslexia, and a minority in a mostly white suburb, and her identity as an athlete and an artist. She covers some intense realizations about herself and her identity. Very cool.
