Customer Reviews

Don't let the subject matter throw you- this is the total package!

But I really can't imagine worse colors. But aside from that: It was a 360 work of art = This is how you tell a story = Take notes- I sure did! -StrictlySequential (goodreads)

Magnificent study of teenage life

This comic is so real about the way teenage life was, I almost felt like crying for the character. The editorial review pretty much describes the book. It is about Lily and her awkwardness about getting used to a new boring small town. Like life, everyone turns out to be a jerk, even the people who seem nice. It isn't a straight out depressing read though. Debbie Drechsler just like in "Daddy's Girl", has a gift for making you care about the character and has a great subtle wit. Even after the book, I'm still laughing about some of the things that happened. Overall a 4/5.
