2 posts | 2 read
Being a teenager is no fairy tale . . . but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a little magic. A high schooler’s journey to recover from burnout leads to a surprising romance with a twist from the bestselling author of The Magic Fish. Angelica was the girl who could do it all—until suddenly, she couldn’t. Burnout hit hard. Now, after some very low moments, she’s ready to get her life back together, thanks to her friends, and one very surprising source of comfort. A bear. Peri is the mascot of the local theater. He’s been sending Angelica supportive messages from his social. They’ve become friends, and Angelica might even have . . . a crush? Determined to find the human behind the bear costume, Angelica gets a summer job interning at the theater. She might never go back to being the girl who can do everything, but perhaps she is becoming the girl who can magically have it all.

This was a very angsty and drama filled graphic novel for teens. The theater aspect was great. I felt like the one instance of mature language could have been skipped. It felt stuck in to the story to make it feel older as did an earlier comment about smut. There were a few plot points that didn‘t go anywhere. Otherwise, the relationships and illustrations were lovely.

The themes of grief in this book (friends moving, parent, grandparent, and spouse bereavement are very prevalent and well done but I related to the missing connection between myself and my teenager who is so busy doing all the things that I grieve the time we once had together. No matter if you read this book for the retelling, or for diversity, or just because it's a graphic novel I think there is something inside it for everyone.
