The New Girl by Kid Toussaint
2.0

I loved the art style of this book, it is honestly what initially drew me into looking into this book.
Followed by seeing that this book was tackling the topic of Mental Health. I was further drawn in.

I found it interesting, but in the end I felt myself concerned that this may be a less then faithful portrayal of mental illness overall. What is shown looks more similar to what I've heard about DID but I could be incorrect.

Paired with the less then helpful (or even supportive) adults in Elle's life. Honestly I could have let it slide if at least Elle's Psychologist(?) had been at least been shown as being moderately helpful..

Right now I'm uncertain as to whether I would pursue the sequel or not.
