It was interesting thinking about the author’s experiences alongside my own depression, loneliness, and difficulty with friendships and dark emotions in middle and high school; however, some of the scenes near the end of this book felt blunted to me, and the story lost its life and confused it’s narrative. I loved the art style, frequently pausing just to look, and I like that picture takes the place of text in many places, unfolding and moving through image alone. I was mostly disappointed that it didn’t feel enough for me, it didn’t always become real.
Moderate: Racism, Child abuse, and Suicide attempt
Minor: Toxic friendship
