Love Me Please!: The Story of Janis Joplin by Nicolas Finet

emotional informative fast-paced

4.0

I’ve never read a biography before and I felt reading a graphical novel would help ease me into the genre. I was right! I didn’t know much about Janis Joplin which is why I picked this for the 2023 StoryGraph genre challenge. I found her story engaging (but sad). It was a really nice touch by the artist to make her vices and self-destructive tendencies manifest as toxic tentacles across the page. I also really liked listening to the songs mentioned throughout the book; it was an immersive experience learning about Janis’s rise to fame through storytelling, art, and music.
