A review by syoung
Giant Days by Non Pratt, Boom! Studios
3.0
I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
3 1/2 STARS
I've read other books from Non Pratt so was intrigued as to if I could recognise her style within a book that is more commonly known as a respected Graphic Novel series. As I have not read any of the graphic series I can not compare how closely she follows any of the original characters or stories.
The story follows American university friends , Esther, Daisy and Susan. Esther, a Goth is trying desperately to become friends with the other class goth, Daisy combats her social anxieties by signing up to every club going and Susan struggles to move on from her past. Of coarse, even with all their differences they are friends with hilarious and heart warming moments.
Im not sure if it was because I read an ARC but I found it hard to read this book at the beginning, it was a bit bitty, too quick and random, this may also be because of its Graphic Novel roots.
Although I have given this book 3 stars (probably closer to 3.5 but I couldn't bring myself to hit 4 stars) I will buy this book for my secondary school library and recommend it to students as Non has a wonderful ability to make everyone feel included whatever their situation or un - conventuality.
