While I enjoyed this memoir of the author's life growing up in a house on the school property where her father was principal, I felt that there was stuff left out. The ending seems abrupt.

The insights were interesting, however, as were her observations about how her mother and her father thought.

We see her trying to become an artist, against her parents wishes. The one thing she is passionate about, they want her to give up.

It is disheartening to see it.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

I got this on Netgalley in exchange of an honest review:

This is a wonderful story, and I can really relate to the struggle at deciding what you want to do in life, especially when your heart and head says two different things, and your family another. It is very honest about everyday struggles, both personal ones, and those related to the family. I was actually a bit disappointed when the graphic novel ended because I was so excited to find out what happened! So you could say that I really enjoyed it!
I can't wait to see how it looks when it is all finished!
