This was a beautiful graphic novel in terms of the artwork, but I had trouble suspending my disbelief for the entire story. For example, I’m not sure how 3 middle schoolers could possibly run a salon with chemicals and not one adult has made sure that the appropriate permits are in place. I didn’t understand the reluctance of her father towards the main character wanting to do new and exciting things because there wasn’t enough context given. The story ultimately felt disjointed in a lot of areas which made the reading experience a little disappointing. I did enjoy the friendship between the two main characters, but there could have been a lot more work done in terms of the plot development and character development.
