Just Roll with It by Veronica Agarwal, Lee Durfey-Lavoie
5.0
Just Roll With It is a graphic novel about a girl, Maggie, dealing with middle school and OCD/anxiety. She lives her life by the results of her D20 and discovers that it’s okay to ask for help when you’re struggling.
This book was amazing! There was so much good representation of mental illness and awkward middle school shenanigans and casual queerness. And, of course, D&D (although it’s a fictional game, CAT, in the book).
It read very much like a graphic memoir almost. Having read El Deafo right before this, it was very much the same vibe, so I kept forgetting that this book is fiction. The story was so engaging, and it dealt with the heavy topics that come with mental illness without being super depressing.
This is a book I would absolutely buy as a gift (or for myself😁).
CW: mental illness, bullying, vomit, injury/violence (mostly RPG/fictional), panic disorders
