TAYSHAS 2020 #9

Kiss Number 8 by Colleen AF Venable and Ellen T. Crenshaw

Another graphic novel. Why? Because I can breeze through them in next to no time. Apparently, there are several on the TAYSHAS list this year, which is stupid since graphic novels have their own awards list. In fact, several are double-dipping on both lists. Ok, I will get off my soapbox about the travesty of the books on the awards list that don't belong there.

Unlike the previous graphic novel, this one actually has a decent story. This one is about Amanda. She goes to a Catholic high school, and has a tense relationship with one of her best friends. With the other best friend, well, she kissed her, and this story is told in flashback to show how she got there. And there's a lot that leads up to that kiss, my friends.

This one, I would highly recommend.
