i wasn't a big fan of one of the main characters (
fiona, throughout most of the book
), so i wasn't able to appreciate the story as much as i otherwise would have. that said, i think a main goal of the story was to show people having nuanced personalities and that being okay, so i understand why everyone couldn't always be my favourite character.

there were also a few times were i got a bit confused about where the characters were, mainly when they were smoking/drinking or telling stories, but again, i think that was important for the artistic representation of the story.

overall, i did appreciate reading this story, and would still recommend it to others! it just wasn't my favourite graphic novel ever but that's okay :)
