Beautiful and hard to read about depression and loneliness and parental expectations. I think this is a relateable story for many, many teens.
This was a beautifully illustrated and powerful story about a Korean-American coming of age. While I went into this hearing amazing stuff but not knowing much else I walk away in tears because of how beautiful and well told this memoir was. It was heartbreaking seeing the father want to help through out and the phone call to him at the end had me in tears. Truly a beautiful book!
This is hands down the most beautiful graphic novel I've ever read!
And it takes you all the places!
Beautiful artwork, a story that doesn't shy away from dark subject matter, and a number of delightful visual transitions. This story had me more emotional than I expected to be going into a graphic novel.
To those of you who have read the graphic novel Blankets, it's the best comparison I can make. Emotionally honest coming of age story.
Highly recommended.
