Friends with Boys by Faith Erin HicksMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I adored this graphic novel. Maggie is the typical girl who grew up with older brothers and I could kind of relate to her. I grew up being closer to the guys than the other girls. I guess I could relate to them more since I liked guy things more than girly things. Her brothers seemed like a few guys I'd hang out with as well when I was in high school
I really liked the art work with this graphic novel. It was simplistic. I love simplistic art that is emotive on it's own level. Some artists get overly complicated. I'm completely jealous that these artists make it look so easy!
I kind of like how the characters react with each other. It's not the typical 'everything's ok' sort of story. There are problems in it and a few of the problems do get solved. I'm still curious about the ghost though. She seemed so sad and Maggie only wants to help her. I really want to know why her brothers can see the ghost as well. Is it a huge family secret or something? I'd be really willing to get the second book when it ever comes out. I'm definitely going to try to follow this writer as well. I'm very fond of comics on the net and was excited to learn she has a site!

Look! I did it again! lol I figured it out finally. Quite proud of myself and I can't wait to post again. I need to go through what I read though and make sure I have a review for it. That might be the hard part.
I'm also thinking of maybe trying to post a sketch every once in a while. I need to get back into the habit of doing that.
