The Greatest Thing by Sarah Winifred Searle
4.0
Fans of Raina Telgemeier’s Drama and Shannon Hale’s Real Friends will love The Greatest Thing.
✨
It’s the first day of sophomore year and Win is struggling because her best friends transferred to a private school. In art class she meets Oscar and April and strikes up a real friendship with them. However, each is hiding and struggling with personal demons, but Win’s comic series is what keeps her going. This is a YA graphic novel about friendship, honesty and loving yourself.
✨
I read Sincerely, Harriet last year and remember really liking the artwork, but not the story as much. I believe Searle took this GN to the next level because she was writing about her own experiences in high school. I thought it was compelling, honest and will be such a comfort to so many teens who read it, as many are dealing with the same issues as well.
CW: eating disorders, depression, anxiety, self-harm
4.25 ⭐️ because it was slow at some points
