New Adult Graphic Novel
G/M Means,
Greg. The Cute Girl Network. First Second, 2013. 179p. 978-1-59643-751-7. 17.99.
When Jane falls off her skateboard in the
street, the cute, goofy, soup cart salesman, Jack, helps her to her feet. After
just a few dates with Jack, Jane is smitten. He’s forgetful and weird, but he’s
sweet and he likes her too. But when Jane’s friends find out she is dating
Jack, they introduce her to the “Network,” a group of women who help each other
by sharing details about their ex-boyfriends to prevent future agony. Everyone
has something mean to say about Jack, but it’s up to Jane to make up her own
mind about him. This cute graphic novel would appeal to the new adult genre of
20-somethings, more than teens, due to the subject matter, but since there
aren’t too many realistic, romantic graphic novels with strong female
characters, it’s a good addition to any collection. Loren Spector, LAPL,
