For some reason, neither the art nor the storytelling gripped me. I'm always interested in graphic novels exploring gender and coming of age. But I fell like this one never went beyond the surface, which may be a reflection of where the conversation around gender was when the book was published, in 2014.

This Graphic Novel really spoke to me. Being called a tomboy my whole life, reading about someone that went through a lot of the same things really made me feel like I'm not alone. I do like girly things, I also love all things boyish. I'm just a middle of the road person and I am so glad to have read something that made me feel good and normal.

Terrific read for middle school/high school/adult folks who never quite fit in. Loved it!

I loved the art style and Prince’s voice — I just wish it were longer! I’m curious to know more about the late teen years and the punk/zine scene, and how that helped Prince grow. That stuff is in the book of course, and it’s clear that it’s special to her! But me being me I just always want more haha.
