The Alex Award is given to “books written for adults that have special appeal to young adults”, so as I’ve been enjoying her post- Relish work for grown-ups, I’ve held out hope that one day she might write a graphic novel for a younger audience. I went out and read it and have been singing its praises ever since – honest, vulnerable, intelligent, and informative – a joy to read.
