Sincerely, Harriet
by Sarah Winifred Searle
Sincerely, Harriet is a heartwarming graphic novel about a girl suffering from a chronic illness, and the boredom she experiences as she's stuck in the apartment all summer.
I enjoyed the story a great deal. Harriet is a compelling protagonist, acting as normally as she can at her age, and the situations she gets herself into seem familiarly realistic. The story is presented well, with an art style and color scheme that beautifully captures both the melancholy of a bored teen, and the time period the story is set in. But entire time I was reading, I felt as though something was missing - I feel as though there is need for another layer to the story that would better capture Harriet's feelings.
Overall, it's a fast read with a sweet story and great artwork.
