Why I Read It: Because you told me to!

Summary: Enid and Becky have been best friends forever and do everything together. They’re graduating from high school, so Enid is thinking of moving away to college but Becky doesn’t want her to go.

Review: This has been my favorite graphic novel so far, although I haven’t read very many yet. In the movie adaptation, I wish they had stuck to the book a bit more because the book was (of course) much better.

I loved Enid’s snarky commentary, but the last couple of chapters were the most satisfying because you start to see what’s really going on with Enid. I wish there had been a couple more hints of that earlier on because the beginning chapters seemed to wander a bit. Or it could be that I just missed them.

If you haven’t read any graphic novels before, this would be a great one to start with.

How do you think the movie compares to the book?
