Tina M., sophomore, is a wry observer of the cliques and mores of Yarborough Academy, and of the foibles of her
southern California intellectual Indian family. She`s on a first-name basis with Jean-Paul Sartre, the result of an English honours class assignment to keep an ˜existential diary`.
Keshni Kashyap`s compulsively readable graphic novel “ with Mari Araki`s sweet, melancholy drawings “ packs in existential high school drama, from Tina getting dumped by her smart-girl ally to a kiss on the mouth (Tina`s mouth, but not technically her first kiss) from a cute skateboarder, Neil Strumminger. And it memorably answers the pressing question: Can an English honours assignment be a fifteen-year-old girl`s path to enlightenment?ISBN-9789350294529
