For those of you who don&#8217;t know, Ariel has been doing a comic story of her high school experience, detailing pretty much everything from Grade 9 to 12, with Likewise being the start of her senior year. The book is going to be something like 380 pages long, so there&#8217;s obviously a lot to be told. One of the things I love about this is the way she tells absolutely everything. There&#8217;s a scene of probably four or five pages just about Ariel and some of her friends trying to define the &#8220;It&#8221; that certain people have that makes them cool. A silly, meandering conversation, sure, but it&#8217;s real, and that&#8217;s what makes this book so priceless. She shows her deepest fears and feelings, seemingly without a care in the world or regard for the consequences. I&#8217;d say to wait until this is finished and read this all as one epic, but I think it might be a better idea to read some of the earlier years and keep up with this as it comes out, every six months or so. I feel stupid putting a warning up at all but she is incredibly graphic about everything, so if you&#8217;re the squeamish type you should really loosen up and take a look at this book. Autobiography at its finest. Sure, there are better writers and sure, there are better artists, but this is just pure and real. Read it!
