The Greatest Thing by Sarah Winifred Searle
3.0

15 year old Winifred is entering high school this year without her best friends. Wanting to start fresh she navigates through her sophomore year alone until she meets Oscar and April in Photography class. They are creative, rebellious, non-typical high schoolers that try to help Win feel comfortable in her own skin, and collaborate on a Zine. Dealing with an eating disorder and depression, Winifred won’t admit she needs help, or admit to who she really loves.
Based on the author's own experiences this graphic novel is an honest, raw look at being a teenager today and the complexity of friendships and identity. A beautifully drawn story that could easily have a sequel as reader’s will be left wondering about characters that didn’t get the conclusions they deserve.
