Koko Be Good by Jen Wang

4.0

I really enjoyed Koko Be Good. It's drawn in a beautiful dreary style with a sepia/brown/grey palette, which gives a nostalgic, tired feel. The characters are lovable and diverse: Koko's Maniac Dream Girl-ness and Jon's Boy Next Door-ness make for a cute friendship. I enjoyed how Wang explores each character's sense of "how to be good" and their sentiments of "I don't know what to do with my life," which instilled a hefty serving of existential dread by the end of the book. Overall I thought it was a beautiful, quirky, often hilarious, story of people finding their own paths.
