Forest Hills Bootleg Society by Nicole Goux, Dave Baker
2.0
emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated

Between the cover and the blurb, I had high hopes for Forest Hills Bootleg Society. The color palette is gorgeous but there were two major elements of the book that didn't work for me. The detailed, description-heavy panels interspersed with the story kept distracting me from the narrative. I also kept wanting more character development done by showing rather than telling.
