Review

Paper Girls is a really great graphic novel about friendship and time travel. The art is gorgeous and the colours are vibrant.

I was more interested in the relationship between the 4 main characters and the development of their friendship and also their character growth rather than the aliens and spaceships and monsters. A lot of the alien plot went over my head and some of the plot didn’t make a lot of sense.

Really great if you want to read about the bond between 4 girls with a bit of time travel and sapphic love. I’m happy that I was able to read all the issues in one go and didn’t have to wait for a new chapter. Highly recommended!
