I Am Not Okay With This
I Am Not Okay With This | Charles Forsman
10 posts | 14 read | 7 to read
Sydney seems like a normal 15-year-old freshman. She hangs out underneath the bleachers, listens to music in her friends car, and gets into arguments with her annoying little brother ? but she also has a few secrets shes only shared in her diary. Like how shes in love with her best friend Dina, the bizarreness of her father's death, and those painful telekinetic powers that keep popping up at the most inopportune times. In this collection of the self-published minicomic series, Forsman expertly channels the teenage ethos in a style that evokes classic comic strips while telling a powerful story about the intense, and sometimes violent, tug of war between trauma and control.

I didn't enjoy this graphic novel. The whole story feels underdeveloped and disjointed, and I forgot entirely that it was following the main character's journal so the author didn't make good use of that idea. It felt like this was just too focused on being edgy and shocking and forgot to do the rest of the story building. There's also a lot of unconsensual kissing in this. #LGBTQIA #Comic

I enjoyed this graphic novel. It deals with a 15 year old girl who is dealing with death, family, friends and her sexuality. I seen it was a Netflix show I'm sure it will be a little different since some of the content in this book was both mature content and a little dark.

I've seen a couple people around me read this book, and a friend of mine recommended me this graphoc novel. The story spirals into heartbreak and hopelessness, and with the power that Sydney has, it portrays the emotional confusion that teenagers feel, while also presenting the struggles of admiting what it truly feels not to be okay from within and outwards. I will definitely look into Forsman's End of the Fxxxing World.

Somewhere between a reluctant pick and a so-so. Strange and dark. This really is quite disturbing for such a short read, but I think that is also where it sort of succeeds. It captures the hopelessness that can come with depression and struggling to figure out who the hell you are, and how sometimes, things end badly. This is not great, but it is powerful.
