Kisses for Jet by Joris Bas Backer

2.0

With it's monochromatic illustrations and somewhat meandering story this graphic novel about a young person figuring out their gender identity in the early 2000's should have been an instant hit for me but unfortunately it just didn't capture my imagination or tug on my heart strings the way I would have expected it to. It is essential that we have more diverse stories represented in graphic novels so I'm glad the book exists and I've no doubt it will connect with many young trans people who could relate directly to the protagonists experiences but for me it missed the mark.
