Breaking Up

Chelsea Hunter

Breaking Up was an interesting novel that focused on how friendships can change during a person’s high school experience because of the pressures of school, social acceptance, and developing new relationships. For the four friends in this graphic novel, the changes came suddenly and without warning.

I loved how the primary focus of this book was on the friendship aspect of the four characters, and not on their new relationships with boyfriends and other friends, and that the romance took a backseat to the important relationships in Breaking Up.

It was a quick read, and I would recommend it. It wasn’t my favorite graphic novel I’ve read but it was definitely good. The artwork was also really great, and brought the story alive.
