Historical fiction and the complications of girlhood (the less shiny the better) are a genre I enjoyed growing up; to see it reflected now as an adult (with the time period of my teenagehood being the historical now!) was interesting, and in some ways comforting. The art really helps with the narrative and it's difficult but I hope younger folks can find something in it the way that I found something in books like this in my youth.
