Comics Will Break Your Heart by Faith Erin Hicks
3.0
Originally I requested this book from the publisher directly but I was accepted on Netgalley instead. I was drawn in to this book by the cover. I love this cover so much and I'm a sucker for anything comics. Thanks Marvel! Anyway this book was about to teens who come from families that hate each other. Romeo and Juliet anyone? The book its self disappointed me.
I didn't care for the main character, Miriam I thought she was kinda a flat character and found myself liking the boy she likes instead. But I did have some issues with his character as well. Weldon is a troubled rich kid. He's the typical one you see in all young adult books. He gets kicked out of school and steals cars only to try to get the attention from his parents who are never around and sent him to live with his aunt and uncle.
Overall the plot didn't really draw me in. It's a cute modern twist on Romeo and Juliet without the death. It has a bit of insta love almost. It seems like they barley know each other and they already are wanting to date each other. I did however get bored and almost didn't finish the book.
