howlinglibraries 's review for:
The New Girl
by Kid Toussaint
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
I'm not totally sucked in to the story of Elle(s) based on this first volume, and I'm always wary in these sorts of scenarios since Elle's situation is clearly written to resemble the DID experience, but there were some minor elements that have me wondering if Elle is dealing with that or something else entirely.
I loved the artwork, thought the characters were cute and the dialogue was fun, and most of all, I was impressed with the artistic depictions of the different versions of Elle. I loved that each one was represented by nothing more than a hair color change, and that Elle herself even thinks of the "other Elles" by their hair colors ("I think of that one as the blonde", etc.). It was a really simple, neat stylistic choice that made the story super easy to follow.
I wasn't in love with this book, but I'm definitely intrigued and looking forward to continuing the series!
