The Spy Who Raised Me by Ted Anderson
4.0
What a fun and action packed graphic novel! I loved the monochromatic color scheme and the art was effective. As for the storyline, I am always here for daughters who break away from their toxic mothers and realize they are badass and awesome all by themselves and that they don't need a mother's love to thrive.
This graphic novel is about JB, who is a spy, but she doesn't know it. Her mom, also a spy, has been using JB as a tool and an experiment by programming her with super special spy skills. When JB finds this out, she's furious and confused and goes on a spy adventure to find all the answers she seeks.
Honestly, this was highly entertaining and a quick read. Definitely recommend when this comes out in April. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
After reading some other reviews, I realize that I may have been conditioned to not realize how serious this plot it. It really is essentially child abuse, but my own history allowed me to laugh at it vs take it very seriously. Please be aware that this plot is there and could be triggering for some.
