A Map to the Sun by Sloane Leong
3.0

A whole lot of angst and drama (self-esteem, self-harm, substance abuse, body image, family problems, growing pains, teacher-student relationship, DRAGGED OUT FRIENDSHIP DRAMA OH MY GOD) accompanied by some beautiful color direction. The colors are like gluing a million different sticky notes together. I loved it! One thing though who under the age of 60 is calling anyone “heifer?” That’s grandma language right there, and it’s used repeatedly.

This story tries to tackle a lot, but it doesn’t try to solve it either. Life’s like that sometimes, everything can’t be tied up with a bow.
