Slip is a book bound together by the emotions and relationships of the characters. This could’ve easily made the novel hard to follow, but it didn’t because it was done well.
Color is another integral part of Slip’s storytelling. The book isn’t in full color, usually staying in black and white, but there are moments when the main character is thinking about her friend Phoebe, the art turns red, beautifully portraying the emotions that come with what happens throughout the plot.
Overall, a good read. I wish we could’ve gotten a proper resolution between Jade and Phoebe, but the exclusion of that doesn’t leave too many loose ends.
