pick3.5 ⭐The A stands for both acme as well as Ace or asexual. Most of the book deals with an eighth grade Jay that has pretty severe acne. I quite enjoyed this story and watching the character grow up, and discover that they are ace. I even liked their concerns over their acne and how it affected their self-worth. This is something I think many students would feel and understand.
pickI wanted to love this graphic (almost)memoir about grappling with teenage problems from bullies to acne along with coming to terms with an often unspoken sexuality. I definitely connected with Greene's outsider feelings as an ace kid, but this one didn't hit the way I had hoped. Though, that's likely me expecting too much of the book than an issue with the book itself. It's that problem of the underrepresented reader demanding too much.
