I bought this because the art style was immediately appealing - the characters look gothy, indie, and with body shapes that look like real people. Unfortunately, the pacing is glacial: after 170 pages, nothing's really happened. Debating on whether to pick up the next. ( )

Though pretty, the art here was still a little more idealized than I'd like it to be (chubby girls without stretch marks or double chins) and the dialogue made me feel like I was hanging out in a mall food court. ( )

and that, my friends, is why i love graphic novels! oh, the teen angst! the cute girls who don't think they're cute. the turmoil of the teen years. the drama, the beauty, the intensity. it almost makes me want to go back and do it again. (but not really.) now excuse me while i ILL volumes 2 and 3. ( )

If you are interested in watching youths griping about roommates taking stuff without asking, unplugging a toilet or walking to and fro in front of a window, OK. Unfortunately for me, I like to have some kind of plot or story going on.
There are a few hints that there might be something along those lines in later volumes, but since my reactions to the characters range from indifference to annoyance, I won't spend the money to find out.

Kind of a saving grace is the art. There's much effort put in making the characters NOT cookie-cutter-duplicates of each other, and the inks and tones are very clean. ( )
