Paper Planes
by Jennie Wood
A perceptive young adult graphic novel which explores themes like sexuality and gender.
Dylan had great character development and it was lovely to see them grow throughout the story. Leighton on the other hand was a bit off. She was very iffy with Dylan in the present despite being best friends/dating in the past. This had no consequences. It would have been nice to see her take some responsibility for her actions, rather than Dylan taking responsibility for them.
It took me a while to get into it but ultimately it was a quick read. I kept waiting for something worse to come out about the reason they were at the camp so it was both a relief when we found out what happened and a disappointment. The reveal wasn't that great.
Ultimately though, it's one of those books which I'm glad exists for young adults.
