"...an aching clarity [is] evident in [Castrée's] sombre grey tones and her dexterous, serpentine lines."–Globe & Mail Best 100 Books of 2013 "With mesmerizing honesty Castrée resurrects the obscenely disorienting turning points of a childhood, the ones that haunt a person for a lifetime. After reading the last page I closed the book and wept a little bit about its simple, perfect ending.” –MIRANDA JULY, author of It Chooses You and No One Belongs Here More Than You Goglu is a daydreamer with a young working mother, a disengaged stepfather, and a father who lives five thousand miles away. Drawing, punk rock, and the promise of true independence guide Goglu to adulthood while her home’s daily chaos inevitably shapes her identity. Susceptible is a devastating graphic novel debut by Geneviève Castrée; it's a testament to the heartbreaking loss of innocence when a child is forced to be the adult amongst grownups..

Loved this story of Goglu's growing pains! The black and white illustrations complement the story well. Drawn & Quarterly rarely disappoint and this is no exception! â¤â¤

Lacythebookworm @fern @Cinfhen Thank you! I've never gotten over stickers since my days of Lisa Frank. Fortunately with the popularity of Traveler's Notebooks and planners, it's somewhat acceptable for a mid-30's to have a sticker collection! 😠8y
Cinfhen I totally remember Lisa Frank but that's because my daughter collected those! I used to scrapbook because it allowed me to buy stickers 💜😊â¤ï¸ 8y

I looked up this artist and was so sad to find out she died last July at the age of 35 (pancreatic cancer).

Lindy Oh! So young! That's very sad. I loved 8y
