My Graphic Novel?

I finished reading a few graphic novels today.  They’re all pretty much the same.  There’s a geek and something unexpected and exciting or dangerous happens to them and it changes their perspective in life.

But there was one….

A mostly true story accounting a 17 year old’s voluntary check in to a clinic to help her find out what is wrong with her.  In between the glimpses of Stacy’s life at the home we learn a little about her from her friends who all seem to have some sort of nuance.

The story is honest.  Stacy is merely trying to get herself to a place where she can find honesty from either herself, her mother, her friends or her boyfriend.  Her desperation at trying to just be happy is palpable.

Good.  Read.
