Since I've been reading all these middle-grade and YA graphic novels lately, I decided to read one that's actually intended for adults. Nicole Georges finds out from a palm reading that her biological father is (supposedly) still alive. The book is her memoir of growing up with a variety of different father figures, while discovering her sexual identity and navigating relationships with her mother, sisters, and romantic interests.
Although I couldn't relate to some aspects of the story, her struggle to reconcile some events in her past is one that most people can identify with. We all have things in our lives that take time to accept, and when we reflect on them we begin to understand how they have contributed to the people we have become.
Her geek chic style and dry observations are reminiscent of Daria:
But the illustrations are humorous and sophisticated at the same time:
If you're a fan of graphic novels, especially ones that are more artistic and not as mainstream, then this is a pretty good one.
