"There is nothing wrong with you wanting to look and feel your best and to take care of yourself, but self-worth shouldn't be tied to appearance, either."
Marlene (main character)
Ruby (Aunt of Marlene)
Camilla (Best Friend of Marlene)
Paola (Mother of Marlene)
My love for Marlene, Ruby, Camilla, and Paola has no bounds. Accepting and loving a part of you is hard especially when others see it as something it should not be. Seeing how Marlene used to be confident and innocent of the way the world works to an insecure middle-grade break my heart.
I'm glad to be part of Marlene and Paola's journey of loving their curls and opening up to each other. I'm happy with how supportive Ruby and Camilla are. This graphic novel is a gem and I love the colour palette!
