james_desantis 's review for:
The New York Five
by Ryan Kelly, Brian Wood
So this is the conclusion to The New York Four, but this is five, because it's the sequel, and there's one more main character...kind of. Kind of six actually now that I think about it. Anyhow....
It's basically builds upon the last book. Riley is now dating Frank who is still dating her sister. It's messy and wrong and we deal with that. We also get a little bit more story of the other 3 girls who all have their very own issues to deal with. Then we have Angie, who becomes a part of the story more (that's Riley's sister). Last but not least is this emo/tattoo girl who's a bum who occasionally gives the girls advice and hangs out with them.
Good: Riley's story with her sister is by far the best one and most interesting. The frank storyline gets a much needed conclusion. I also thought the twist with the pregnancy was out of left field but that's kind of what happens. The art also remains solid throughout once more.
Bad: The ending feels kind of up in the air. Which I guess slice of life stories are like that. However, too many loose ends with the other girls to get a satisfying ending.
This was good once more. This series isn't going to change anyone's life but enjoyable YA style story. I'll hit it with a 3 out of 5.
