I was sent a copy from the publisher, Algonquin Young Readers to review. All thoughts are my own!
Slip is hard hitting, dark contemporary graphic novel. It’s sapphic, there’s magic, and it doesn’t shy away from talking about hard topics as Jade is trying to make sense of everything going on in her life, as she learns her best friend, Phoebe attempted suicide. She feels helpless, and uninspired since she’s away at an art program and can’t keep in contact with her. If you’re a creative person, you’ll really resonate with Jade and her feelings!
TW: Suicide attempt, Medical Content, Self-harm, Suicidal Thoughts
