I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This fun, vibrantly illustrated graphic novel has a classic message--be true to yourself AND respect that the needs and desires of others may be different from your own--with a contemporary twist: our protagonist is obsessed with a YouTuber who, to be fair, teaches valuable life lessons. Viv is certainly annoying in her self-absorption, but that's natural for her character and to move the story along. This would be perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier and Shannon Hale who are looking for something fresh and relatable.
