Review: The Note

 

Three friends take a vacation together in the Hamptons. Things spin out of control very quickly during a night out on the town. After a couple steals their parking space, they jokingly write out a note for them to leave on their windshield. After stating they would never do it, they go back to catching up.

But later that week, there are missing posters with the man's face on them. May realizes it's the same guy who from the parking space incident. She urges the others to tell the police, but they refuse.  But can she let it be?

My Thoughts: It took me a little bit to get into the book, but then I was hooked. These three friends are only friends because of a tragedy years ago. They reconnected after they were all canceled. All of them have secrets; none of them can be trusted. I loved all the plot twists and secrets. 

Cover Thoughts: Good

Graphic Novel Review: Fox Point's Own Gemma Hopper

Gemma's dealing with a lot right now - she's picking up the slack from her mother, looking after her brothers, and helping her older brother with his baseball dreams. But could she have dreams of her own? Gemma's just trying to keep everything together, but can she also figure out what she wants?

My Thoughts: A great graphic novel with sports and drama. All the drama! (Friendship, school, and family drama) I love it when the siblings play baseball together. I love it when Teddy realizes the truth about Gemma and forces her to realize it too. While the parents aren't great in this one, the father realizes it in the end. I like how the illustrations are mostly green, black, and white. 

Cover Thoughts: Great
