This was a coming-of-age story of a 13 year old boy. There were graphic sexual scenes between him and a 16 year old girl, which made me really uncomfortable, especially since the legal age of consent between minors is 14 years where I’m at (Germany).

There was an overall lack of plot, and I didn’t quite understand the title. It didn’t really relate to the story in my opinion.

The art style was simple and I didn’t especially like it.

Overall, this novel wasn’t what I’d expected it to be and left me disappointed.

A Sister is a coming-of-age story. The art-style is purposeful and complements the narrative. This isn’t a whimsical story with trendy artwork. Instead, the graphic, impressionistic line-art and the colorless palette seem to reflect the harsh reality of real-life, and just how scary it is to grow up. There are a few moments, however, where the art lacks clarity, and it’s hard to tell where people are.
A Sister tells the story of a thirteen-year-old and his relationship with a vivacious girl three years his senior. The story is about growing up and coming into one’s own sexuality. Needless to say, this story is rife with male gaze and at times I think the depictions of nudity are a bit gratuitous. This graphic novel depicts underage drinking and sex. I personally find Craig Thompson’s “Blankets” to be a stronger work that explores similar themes.

This was a good graphic novel. The artwork was different from what I was used to but I really found it interesting and beautiful. I did have a problem with the "relationship" between the main character and Helene, since where I'm from this would've been an illegal set of intercourses and I found it a bit weird for that. I do believe there should be a trigger warning for underage sexual intercourse but, appart from that, I enjoyed reading this.

I got this on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
This was a pretty nice coming-of-age story, and I am very in favour of books that does portray this age of sexual awakening, testing their own (and other's) boundaries, exploring their own bodies alone or together with someone they trust. I am maybe a bit unsure I like the age difference between Antoine and Helene, since it's implied that she's more than slightly more than 3 years older than her, but I also felt like they (for the most part) are portrayed as equals, and there is no malicious intent in either of them. Overall good graphic novel.
