As someone who read this entire book in one sitting when it first came out, I was intrigued by this graphic novel adaptation. I'm not really sure the story itself translates well into a graphic novel format, as there's a lot of internal monologues that happen in the prose version of this story. Something about Levithan's prose is also a little lost in this adaptation. 

There are some nice panels, but the art style wasn't particiularly my favorite. I wanted a little more detail in some of the people, I think. The colors were really nice, though! Especially in the scenes that were given a full page.

All in all, some mixed feelings about this adaptation. I'm not sure how they're picking YA novels to adapt, but they are definitely picking some interesting ones.
