Suggestive sexual situations and the presence of drugs and alcohol will ensure that this title will be best appreciated by mature teens looking forward to their own undergraduate experiences. The gem-tone colors are reminiscent of the work of Noelle Stevenson, Kate Beaton, and Raina Telgemeier, and older fans of those authors will certainly gravitate to this series. Commentary on small-town life, gender politics, and religion gives this light graphic novel an added layer of nuance. The quirky characters' personalities shine through not only in the hilarious text and asides but also in the bright, effusive illustrations. From heartaches and hookups to psychotic breaks and looming exams, the friends experience the gamut of first-year college life. And Susan tries desperately not to fail most of her classes, while falling for a handsome grad student. With the help of McGraw, Esther and Daisy rescue Susan from her townie nemesis during holiday break. The friends search for the perfect dress for the Hall Ball while trying not to conform to gender roles. Collecting issues five to eight, this volume presents the highs and lows of the trio's last few months of their first semester.

1 w/ all the fun adventures etc.īut overall it was a great addition to the series & I can’t wait to see what happens in Vol.Gr 10 Up-University freshman roommates Susan, Esther, and Daisy continue their high jinks in this follow-up to Allison's Giant Days. I will admit with this volume taking a more serious route+ the new art style 1/2 way through, it still didn’t feel the same as Vol. you can definitely see they always looked out for each other & helped when issues came up. 1 focused on the fun adventures they had when college first started, now it focused more on course work/academics & relationships, especially from Susan & Esther and how they work them out! My Thoughts: What I really enjoyed about Vol. But in the face of hand-wringing boys, “personal experimentation,” holiday balls, nu-chauvinism, and the willful, unwanted intrusion of “academia,” they may be lucky just to make it to spring alive. Now, away from home for the first time, all three want to reinvent themselves. Summary: Susan, Esther, and Daisy started at university three weeks ago and became fast friends. Giant Days Vol.2 by John Allison, Lissa Treiman, Whitney Cogar, & Max Sarin (Giant Days #1)
