Wonderful, evocative, beautiful work. I'm almost taking this quality for granted with her now, especially at this short comic length. It's less a story, more of a vignette of those revelatory moments one has in adolescence. Bittersweet, with a caustic undertone. The art is so fully in service to the story, it elevates the work by magnitudes.

strong potential for painful, triggering misreads. but, if you can avoid that, a good commentary on the circulation of doubt and the dismissal of victims/favoritism toward abusers.

Wow. This is a perfect little comic that really captures teenage gossip. A group of friends is having a slumber party at the newly purchase house of their friend's divorced dad. So much happens in these 40 pages and it's so subtle but absolutely incredible. As always Eleanor Davis' art is phenomenal, and she continues to be my favorite artist/illustrator/person who makes comics/person.

Eleonor Davis es actualmente una de mis dibujantes favoritas. Todo lo que leo suyo me encanta. Y su estilo me enamora. Sabe contar historias de una forma super personal. Y Libby's dad es un claro ejemplo. Ojalá se edite más de ella en español para que mucha más gente pueda maravillarse.

On the one hand, this was a great critique of how cruel and nonsensical girlhood adolescence can be. On the other, I didn't feel like it added much.

As a middle school teacher, I have seen this gossipy illogical mania firsthand! Davis captures it perfectly with lush, layered colored pencil.
