A review by taylorjayne
Dry Foot by Jarred Luján
3.0
I received an eARC copy in exchange for an honest review from Diamond Book Distributors and Mad Cave Studios via NetGalley.
Firstly thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this beautifully illustrated graphic novel.
Do you like On My Block? Then this graphic novel is for you. Set in the 1980s in Miami, Dry Foot deals with the gritty reality of trying to survive in a town ruled by gangs and crime and the ripple effects this has on our young characters.
Although I really enjoyed the set up to this story, I felt like the ending was rather rushed and because we didn’t get much time in our protagonists heads, the ending lacked a lot of emotional impacted.
I will however keep my eye out for more graphic novels by this author, this story had a lot of promise so I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a graphic novel I enjoy more from them in the future.
