Read this to fulfill a reading challenge prompt and I enjoyed it! The art style was stunning and it was fun to see the similarities and differences between the book and the musical. I think a lot of the literary references throughout went over my head a bit, or I just didn’t filly grasp the depth of their meaning. Overall, it was a very intricately woven, well-structured examination of Bechdel’s life, family, and her father’s role in both.
