3.0

State of the art YA graphic novel. I don't know if it was what I expected but it was good. It starts pretty light and carefree to actually become darker and depict an abusive relationship, while touching themes such as teen pregnancy, bullying, etc. In the end it was rather a heavy read but not overly and the light and soft graphic style brings a nice contrast/relief.
