rhubarbpi3's review

funny lighthearted reflective fast-paced

4.5

I quite liked this! I thought it would be way more sad like the play (which I haven't seen but have listened to and heard a ton about) but I didn't find this very sad at all? She talks a lot about her longing for a relationship with her father, but not that she's sad she didn't have a good one... very interesting and I loved all the literary references/extended metaphors all the way through, this is the first graphic novel I've ever read to have done that. The word choice was interesting? I didn't dislike it, but there were more words I had to google than any other book I've read this year, which was interesting to pair with the perceived reading level of a story in pictures and words.
