Interesting premise, disappointing execution. The drawings were lovely, and the narrative style is actually pretty engaging. The problem is that the well-explored parts of the story are all pretty standard Mean Girls kind of stuff. The original part of the story could easily have been replaced with anything at all since there was very little explanation of the books, the magic, the process, etc. etc. The ending didn't really feel like much of a resolution either. It all felt too easy and too quick. (

This was a fun take on the be-careful-what-you-wish-for trope, touching also on bullying, beauty and gender standards, and friendship. In the end, though, I did want more detail to the story. (And, as a librarian of over 10 years and a former shelver in high school, I would like to ask: who leaves a teenager in charge of a library? Ever?)

Thanks to Oni Press and NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book. (

This one unfortunately just didn't do it for me. A large part was the art, which was down completely in pencil. It may have been the review copy, but I had a hard time deciphering the frames sometimes. The details were too indistinct, and not dark enough.

The plot was okay, but wasn't anything terribly compelling. I'm also a bit confused to the ending, which never full spelled out the consequences of messing with your book. So the "so-what" was missing for me.

Willy is a typical teen, frustrated by life, her appearance, and the way she is treated at school by the popular kids. When she discovers her"book" in the secret basement of the library she sets about changing her future. But she discovers that getting what you want isn't always worth what you need.

I loved the three color design to these pages, the black, white, and blue do an excellent job of conveying mood.

Very cuter. A bit sad. The end notes were great. (
