What the hell did I read? Sometimes books/comics are too smart, and I feel like that's the case for this volume.
Paper Girls deals with some crazy concepts and quite a few of them in this first volume definitely went over my head. However, the four protags are energetic, witty, and fearless. And at the age of 12, I wouldn't expect much less.
The Paper Girls definitely made this volume for me. I may not have gotten what they were dealing with, but I could empathize with what these kids were going through.
I'm definitely going to continue on with this series. It won't be the first time that I read a comic that I don't get for the characters alone.
And it won't be the last one, either.
