I really enjoyed this graphic novel. It was really girly (about a girl and her life as a dancer) but it was also created with a lot of complex issues like moving, education, dancing, and family. I thought it was very well written. I have never read a graphic novel before and I was impressed with how easy it was. I always thought they would be harder to read because of how complex they are but after reading one it flowed together very well. I would totally recommend this book to anyone. The book starts off introducing her at the age of six, when she starts dancing and then it ends when she goes to college. I thought the author did a good job of covering important events in her life but yet keeping them connected and related to one another. The book was broken down into different chapters. The book was really personally. Not only could you hear her personal thoughts but you could also she them. I noticed that in graphic novels, it's like three perspectives rolled into one. The reader reads what the character is actually saying, what the character is thinking to themselves and the narration. Whereas in a book it isn't as clear. The pictures help roll the story into one also. Without the pictures I don't think the story would have made any sense. When I went to the library I thought I was only going to be able to find the action graphic novels because that's all I have ever seen (probably why I have never read a graphic novel before now), but I realized that not all graphic novels are like that and I thought this was really fun to read. It's always nice to read something in a different format.
