Koko Be Good by Jen Wang

4.0

A touching, clever, and beautiful graphic novel about two (or maybe four) young people trying to Be Good. In a way, it's kinda like Nick Hornby's How To Be Good. There's an anxiousness and a moral striving in the well-meaning characters, an inauthenticity. There's a wonderful, very funny bit where the titular Koko tries to volunteer at an old people's home.

I loved how this was told: Jen Wang exposits NOTHING, or only deftly. The art is also - mwah - effortless and delightful. It reminded me of Fiona Staples's art in Saga; the kind of drawing you really envy.
