Fangirl is one of my favorite books of all time, so it’s been really exciting seeing it come to life in a whole new way. Even though I’ve read this book a bunch of times, it’s still fun to read it in this format. I love what the art style adds to the story - what it can tell us about the characters & how it’s achieved. Having to work with more drawings and dialogue than descriptions and exposition means that they had to find creative ways to convey specific thoughts & emotions - especially when it came to Cath. For example, I found it interesting how the art style lets us see a visualization of her anxiety. That visualization shows that sense of loneliness & gloom that comes with her anxiety in a way that words never could. 

So excited to keep reading this series!
