wea_wyrm 's review for:
Sincerely, Harriet
by Sarah Winifred Searle
I received this E-ARC via Lerner Publishing Group and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve seen so many great reviews for this graphic novel, but honestly, I was rather underwhelmed and found myself at the end wondering if I’d only read a partial manuscript (I hadn’t). I appreciated the author’s intent to honor the librarians who impacted her life, but the amount of page space given to discussing classic book recommendations left the already clunky plot lines with no room to breathe. The art work was cute and I loved the MS representation (though I worry readers without prior knowledge might not recognize it), but I was missing the emotional core and clear plot line I needed to give a positive review.
