Mini Book Review - Thank you so much to Simon Teen for the free book!

This book is out now.

This was my very first graphic novel and I loved it! No matter how long its been since graduating high school, it is easy to remember those scary feelings of "what is next". And I think even as an adult there are moments where you aren't sure which direction you want to go through and if you'll lose friends in the process.

I thought that Porretta summed up that end of a teen's high school era pretty well! The graphics were gorgeous and I felt really brought the story to life. Cassie was worried about how her friendships would change once her friends all go off to college and I felt her reaction was very real for a 17/18 year old. Especially from someone who is not going to have the same experience as she was not going to go to college. I did like the idea of the dares but they were quite dangerous and over the top. Now my friend group growing up did not do anything like this but I am sure there were groups that did do antics like this (thank goodness for no cell phones then).

The characters were diverse & I thought the graphics were excellent in adding to their personality (clothing, facial expressions, etc).

I really enjoyed this & it was a quick read!
