Messy Roots: A Graphic Memoir of a Wuhanese-American by Laura Gao

3.0

5/10, this was a terrible graphic memoir, the main characters were just unlikable, the art style needed some improvement, and the lesbian romance felt so empty, I didn't feel anything for Laura and her girlfriend. Also felt like just an ordinary memoir, events such as COVID, moving to America, or the main character being Wuhanese just didn't make this memoir distinct enough from other ones. The speech bubble formatting was terrible as well, who illustrated this?
