My Riot by Rick Spears
3.0
More accurately: 3.5 stars
A coming of age graphic novel about a girl who once wanted to be a ballerina and turns to music instead. Her ballet coach demands she loses weight (even encourages taking up smoking to curb her appetite) and she seems to have no one to talk to. She discovers a friend in a rebellious girl who introduces her to a local band. She decides she wants to start a band and ends up having decent success as a feminist riot band.
The story was well done and I liked the art but it didn’t seem to connect with me very much. But overall a good read!
