Greatest Thing
Greatest Thing | Sarah Winifred Searle
3 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
This tender YA comic is perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier's Drama and Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham's Real Friends who are ready to graduate to their first teen graphic novel. It's the first day of sophomore year, and now that Winifred's two best (and only) friends have transferred to a private school, she must navigate high school on her own. But she isn't alone for long. In art class, she meets two offbeat students, Oscar and April. The three bond through clandestine sleepovers, thrift store shopping, and zine publishing. Winifred is finally breaking out of her shell, but there's one secret she can't bear to admit to April and Oscar, or even to herself--and this lie is threatening to destroy her newfound friendships. With breathtaking art and honest storytelling, rising star Sarah Winifred Searle delivers a heartfelt story about love, friendship, and self-acceptance.

A dynamic group of artistic, queer teens struggling with deep self-loathing find deep friendship and inspiration in one another. I loved the journey this took us on through each character‘s struggles, as well as the process of identifying and talking about eating disorders. There is no solid conclusion, but it feels natural since their story isn‘t over, just this part of it. #LGBTQIA #MentalHealth #HighSchool #Comics

This was excellent! The depiction of high school friendships, dramas, and personal challenges and growth was so well done. Things aren‘t always fully resolved in the end but Searle does a great job showing that sometimes making small brave changes is more important than big heroic gestures. I love the zines the characters write that are interspersed throughout as well. Content note for self-harm and disordered eating.
