This coming of age graphic novel is so well done. Each of the women's stories are told in a different color palette (which I love!), with memories in those times in black and white. It works so well, especially when you see how all of the different story lines come together in the end. The colors seep into each other, and that's just such a cool concept for me.

I've been seeing a lot more of these inter-generational stories in YA, showing different time periods and how they affect future generations. Not only do you get a bit of history in there, but you often get a lot of cultural context as well. It works really well from a storytelling aspect, too.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this one!
