lindseythelibrarian 's review for:

Lifetime Passes by Terry Blas, Claudia Aguirre
3.0

Let me start off by saying yes, there were some annoying and characterized characters (the obsession of teens with an amusement park?), but even with that I still got misty-eyed. And I also hate star ratings.

3.5 Stars rounding up because I enjoyed the ending and felt things

Appeal terms:
Characters: brooding, flawed, LGBTQIA diverse,
Storyline and Pace:character-driven and fast-paced
Tone:amusing, darkly humorous

I enjoyed this graphic novel and I can't wait for the colored version. The graininess people are complaining about was done for copyright issues, which does make reviewing a bit more difficult, but I also understand.

My favorite part of this novel? The relationship between Phyllis and Jackie. I would read about them again in a heartbeat. I also enjoyed some of the representation especially because you weren't hammered over the head with, but it did add a bit to the story nonetheless.
