I can see what other reviewers means about it feeling rushed in places -- to me that works -- it has the same raw and rushed feel that a lot of zines from the time period capture, and I love that Val's voice -- full of rage, innocence, pure adrenalin -- feels so authentic. There's a nostalgia to it, for me, but I also think it has a great energy for calling people to try things outside their comfort zones and find new passions. Advanced Readers copy provided by Netgalley. * reviewed from uncorrected eARC via netgalley teen/adult graphic novel (for mature teens-contains cigarette use, sexual situations, eating disorder) written by Rick Spears (he, him) and illustrated by Emmett Helen (they, them) 17 y.o. awkward misfit, friendless ballerina becomes 90s punk rock star with a new Best Friend, and suddenly all the boys are interested--Valerie's story has tons of teen appeal (except for the smoking, eating disorder, etc.). This book has great artwork and a fast-paced plot--thumbs up. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

1991-Val, a teenager from a conservative family, has grown up dreaming of becoming a ballerina, but recently something has changed. She's begun feeling pressure to conform to a specific idea of beauty, body type, and a personality that just doesn't fit. Val meets Kat, a smart, witty girl that doesn't take any crap off anyone. Kat introduces Val to punk rock. Along with Rudie, another new friend, the three form an all-girl punk band they ironically name The Proper Ladies. Soon Val and her friends find themselves caught up in a movement with other girls also starting bands-also finding their voice. Collectively, these "riot grrrls" discover that their songs ring out loud and powerful, and for Val, there's no going back. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

This was a very fun read that kept me hooked! The illustrations were also great! This coming of age tale is a great read for lovers of graphic novels.
Three out of five stars.
