One Year at Ellsmere by Faith Erin Hicks
3.0
What really sold me on this book was the art. The story is solid, but it's nothing out of the ordinary, for the most part. I thought the battle with the mean girl was handled well, and I really liked that while Juniper is strong and confident, she's also vulnerable and messy.
My favorite thing about the book, though, was probably Cassie, and mainly because of her art. When Juniper groans that she insulted Bambi, I thought it was the *perfect* way of describing Cassie. She's so doe-eyed and vulnerable and innocent, and her face is ridiculously expressive. I think Hicks could have told an entire story just through shots of Cassie's face.
