Super cute graphic novel detailing mental health （bipolar disorder）。 Especially great for kids who want a visual idea of ‘mood swings’Art work is insanely good。 Even on my phone I saw all the details。 Loved to ending to。 Leaves on a cliffhanger so you want to keep reading the next volume in the series when it comes out

What a beautiful and emotional readI liked the look of this and it did not disappoint。 Elle a young girl is sent to a new school and makes some great new friends。 However the stresses around school life and home become a bit too much and unleash her split personalities。 I really enjoyed the concept of this story。 The artwork is stunning and really brings the whole thing to life。 I can’t wait to explore more of this series。

me with mixed feelings。 Don't get me wrong， the drawing style is BEAUTIFUL and between each page I looked at I could see the great effort of the artist and the great talent of him/her/they。The story is really entertaining and touches on topics that I honestly haven't seen covered in other books。 To begin with， the protagonist of the story， Elle， has alters， which leads us to think that she has DID （Dissociative Identity Disorder）， however， not even Elle is aware of the real diagnosis。 At the beginning of the story she finds herself in a new school， where she must learn to make friends， not to get in trouble， where she tries to be an average girl。As I said before， the story is simple but interesting and the art is wonderful， visually charming and I loved every single one of the illustrations。However， what has me conflicted is the way in which the DID is addressed。 In the book it is played as if DID were like bipolarity and the truth is that it is NOT like that。 If the author wanted to show the case of a person misdiagnosed by a specialist， in this case a psychologist， and wanted to show how much a misdiagnosis can harm， he did it right。 It is a reality that is lived， sadly。On the other hand， if the author REALLY believes that DID is like bipolarity， he worries me about his lack of information， and the fact that readers are being misinformed。 Not many people decide to research the topics they read， so sometimes what an author represents in their book and the information that is seen there is what stays in the mind of the reader and that can be detrimental when it comes to these topics that are very important and that are hardly touched on in the literary world。If it is the first case， I want to think that in the following volumes they will reveal the true diagnosis of Elle。If it is the latter case， it is necessary for the author to do a thorough investigation on DID， because this is not bipolarity。DID is a disorder that develops from childhood trauma， which is accompanied by dissociative episodes， blackouts， experiences where the person can see themselves "outside of their body" （this is called depersonalization）， experiences where the person feels that the world is not real or what is happening is not real （this is called derealization）， etc。 In essence， DID develops during infancy because the infant's mind cannot cope with the abuse it is experiencing and consequently puts a barrier between the infant's conscious mind called "amnesia" to block those traumatic memories。 This results in a second personality or alter， that is， that someone who shares the same body as the host but not the same memories。 Some alters have more memories of the abuse that the infant suffered， others have fewer memories of it， and those same alters are different from the host， they look different， act different， speak different， etc。 Contrary to the public image， we are NOT dangerous。Another point I would like to touch on is that when a person has DID， the appearance of the alters can （and often is） different from the host。 This means that if Elle is a white girl with pink hair， one of her alters may be a black girl or she may have a different accent， she may speak different， she may respond to different names， it may even be that one of her alters is man or child， etc。I understand that for display purposes Elle's alters were made to look similar to her， only with different hair color， however that is not the case in real life。 Also， some alters have different， it could be said， positions， for example: the Host is the person who has the most time "in front"， which can be the "original personality" or some other alter in charge。 There may also be young alters whom they call "childs" or "littles"， as well as other positions like alters that are "protectors" or "caretakers"。 Every system is different but in general， alters are very protective of their system。 This is just a small piece of information that I would like to share。On the other hand， I liked that they showed the moment when one of Elle's alters goes through a dissociative episode that leads her to switch。 This moment was very well represented and I really liked that。I want to think the best of the author and believe that all this is going to develop in the best way in the following volumes， I really hope so， in which case I would love to continue with the story。The ARC for this novel was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review: Thank you very much！ESPAÑOL。Pese a que fue una lectura entretenida y rápida， escribir esta reseña me llena de sentimientos encontrados。 No me malinterpreten， el estilo de dibujo es PRECIOSO y entre cada página que veía podía ver el gran esfuerzo del artista y su gran talento。La historia es realmente entretenida y toca temas que， sinceramente， no he visto que se traten en otros libros。 Para empezar， la protagonista de la historia， Elle， tiene alters， lo que nos lleva a pensar que tiene DID （Trastorno de identidad disociativo）， sin embargo ni la misma Elle está consciente de su diagnostico real。 Al iniciar la historia ella se encuentra en una nueva escuela， donde debe aprender a hacer amigos， a no meterse en problemas， donde intenta ser una chica promedio。Como dije antes， la historia es simple pero interesante y el arte es maravilloso， visualmente es encantador y adoré cada una de las ilustraciones。Sin embargo， lo que me tiene conflictuada es la forma en que se toca el tema del DID。 En el libro se toca como si fuera bipolaridad y lo cierto es que NO es así。 Si el autor quiso mostrar el caso de una persona mal diagnosticada por un especialista， en este caso un psicólogo， y quiso mostrar lo mucho que puede dañar un mal diagnostico， lo hizo bien。 Es una realidad que se vive， tristemente。Por otro lado， si el autor REALMENTE cree que el DID es bipolaridad， me preocupa la falta de desinformación del mismo， y el hecho de que se este mal informando a los lectores。 No muchas personas deciden investigar sobre los temas que leen， así que a veces lo que represente un autor en su libro y la información que se vea ahí es la que se queda en la mente del lector y eso puede ser perjudicial cuando se trata de estos temas que son muy importantes y que además casi no se tocan en el mundo literario。Si es el primer caso， quiero pensar que en los siguientes volúmenes van a revelar el verdadero diagnostico de Elle。Si es el último caso， es necesario que el autor haga una investigación profunda sobre el DID， porque esto no es bipolaridad。El DID es un desorden que se desarrolla por un trauma en la infancia， que viene acompañado de episodios disociativos， lagunas mentales， experiencias donde la persona puede verse "afuera de su cuerpo" （esto se llama despersonalización）， experiencias donde la persona siente que el mundo no es real o lo que está sucediendo no es real （a esto se le llama desrealización）， etc。 En esencia， el DID se desarrolla durante la infancia porque la mente del infante no puede sobrellevar el abuso que está sufriendo y en consecuencia pone una barrera entre la mente consciente del infante llamada "amnesia" para bloquear esos recuerdos traumáticos。 Esto da como resultado una segunda personalidad o alter， es decir， ese alguien que comparte el mismo cuerpo que el host pero no los mismos recuerdos。 Algunos alters tienen más recuerdos del abuso que sufrió el infante， otros tienen menos recuerdos de ello， y esos mismos alters son diferentes al host， se ven diferentes， actúan diferente， hablan diferente， etc。 Contrario a la imagen pública， NO somos peligrosos。Otro punto que me gustaría tocar es que cuando una persona tiene DID， la apariencia de los alters puede （y es frecuentemente） diferente a la del host。 Esto quiere decir que si Elle es una chica blanca con cabello rosa， alguna de sus alters puede ser una chica de color o puede tener un acento diferente， puede hablar diferente， puede responder a nombres diferentes， incluso puede ser que alguno de sus alters sea hombre o un niño。Entiendo que para propósitos de visualización se puso a los alters de Elle con una apariencia similar a la ella， sólo con el color de cabello diferente， sin embargo ese no es el caso en la vida real。 También， algunos alters tienen diferentes， podría decirse， puestos， por ejemplo: esta el Host que es la persona que tiene más tiempo "en frente"， que puede ser la "personalidad original" o algún otro alter a cargo。 También puede haber alters jovenes a los que llaman "childs" o "littles"， así como también hay cargos como el "protector"。 Cada sistema es diferente pero en general， los alters son muy protectores de su sistema。 Esto sólo es un pequeño dato que quisiera compartir。Por otro lado， me gustó que mostraran el momento en que uno de los alters de Elle pasa por un episodio disociativo que la lleva a cambiar de alter。 Se representó muy bien y eso me gustó mucho。Quiero pensar lo mejor del autor y creer que todo esto lo va a desarrollar de la mejor manera en los siguientes volúmenes， realmente espero que sí， en dado caso me encantaría seguir con la historia。El ARC de esta novela fue proporcionado por la editorial a través de NetGalley a cambio de una reseña honesta: Muchas gracias！ 。。。more

I read this in one sitting， and thoroughly enjoyed it。 The illustrations are wonderful: bright and full of personality。 The storyline covers delicate topics and so far has done so in a sensitive and interesting way。 I’m looking forward to seeing where the story goes in terms of representation。 The characters were also a highlight， each one quirky and different。 I especially liked Maelys - I’m pretty sure we’d all like a friend like her in our lives。 If I had to criticise anything， it was that it I read this in one sitting， and thoroughly enjoyed it。 The illustrations are wonderful: bright and full of personality。 The storyline covers delicate topics and so far has done so in a sensitive and interesting way。 I’m looking forward to seeing where the story goes in terms of representation。 The characters were also a highlight， each one quirky and different。 I especially liked Maelys - I’m pretty sure we’d all like a friend like her in our lives。 If I had to criticise anything， it was that it was too short。 I wanted more。 。。。more

This graphic novel was super powerful: it illustrates the ups and downs and challenges with bipolar with different hair colors for the different personalities within Elle。 The title makes more sense after you read the graphic novel - Elle（s） is super clever。 Elle has 6 different personalities and despite how much she tries to stay in control， sometimes another personality slips through。 Elle's new school and new group of friends have to be the most accepting and well adjusted kids in literature。 This graphic novel was super powerful: it illustrates the ups and downs and challenges with bipolar with different hair colors for the different personalities within Elle。 The title makes more sense after you read the graphic novel - Elle（s） is super clever。 Elle has 6 different personalities and despite how much she tries to stay in control， sometimes another personality slips through。 Elle's new school and new group of friends have to be the most accepting and well adjusted kids in literature。 They not only investigate what is going on with their new friend， but they accept her and help her cope when her different personalities take over。 They have to be the best support system and the world needs more people like them。 This graphic novel ends on an abrupt cliffhanger and I was really hoping for more of a conclusive ending。 The graphic novel art style is divine。 It's totally digital art and modern。 I adored the play with colors and the subtle signs of a personality shift。 I highly recommend this novel for anyone who knows someone with bipolar or for everyone who wants to know more of what it is like to have bipolar。 It hits in the feels and I think it should be talked about more。 。。。more

I received a free copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。Wow， going into this I didn't have any expectations whatsoever， but let me tell you， I am hooked！ The artwork is amazing and the story is new and interesting！ In just about 100 pages， the story of a girl named Elle already has us readers invested in this series and I cannot wait to read how this continues！ The story ends on a cliffhanger， so I think the authors new exactly what they were doing to us and the story-building was I received a free copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。Wow， going into this I didn't have any expectations whatsoever， but let me tell you， I am hooked！ The artwork is amazing and the story is new and interesting！ In just about 100 pages， the story of a girl named Elle already has us readers invested in this series and I cannot wait to read how this continues！ The story ends on a cliffhanger， so I think the authors new exactly what they were doing to us and the story-building was very intense。 Elle goes to a new school， where she immediately finds a new group of friends to hang out with。 But we soon get to know Elle a bit better， it seems she cannot handle stress situations really well and depending on her mood a different side of her appears。 Literally！ Elle seems to have multiple personalities that take over her body and the amazing thing about this graphic novel， is that we can always clearly recognize what "personality" is in charge， due to her changing hair colour。 I think that's a pretty awesome way of displaying this and making it easier for readers to follow through the story。 So， Elle tries to find out why she is the way she is， but then ends up discovering a dark secret about her family。 We are all awaiting what's going to happen next and I can't repeat this enough: I really want to read the second issue asap！！No matter if you've never read graphic novels or comics before， or if you're into fantasy rather than fiction， I can recommend this to anybody and everybody！ Pick it up， you won't regret it。 And it takes you less than an hour to read in one sitting！ 。。。more

Muchas gracias a Netgallery， por darme una copia de esta novela gráfica en cambio de una reseña honesta。La portada de la novela gráfica me llamó mucho la atención， es hermosa， colorida y nunca había visto un diseño así。 Aunque parecía un típico cliché apenas empezó ya que se trata de una chica nueva， decidí darle una oportunidad y me alegro mucho de habérsela dado porque esta novela gráfica me encanto。En mi experiencia， he leído novelas gráficas que tratan muy bien la inclusión de personas que， Muchas gracias a Netgallery， por darme una copia de esta novela gráfica en cambio de una reseña honesta。La portada de la novela gráfica me llamó mucho la atención， es hermosa， colorida y nunca había visto un diseño así。 Aunque parecía un típico cliché apenas empezó ya que se trata de una chica nueva， decidí darle una oportunidad y me alegro mucho de habérsela dado porque esta novela gráfica me encanto。En mi experiencia， he leído novelas gráficas que tratan muy bien la inclusión de personas que， en algunas situaciones， quedan marginadas de la sociedad y esta no se queda atrás， también informa y tiene reflexiones excelentes。 A cada página más me gustaba， fue muy entretenida y rápida de leer。Necesito saber más sobre Elle y su grupo de amigos， resulta imposible con empatizar con ellos y querer saber mas。La super recomiendo a todos， léanla， no se van a arrepentir。 。。。more

Seriously？？ This is it！？ I have so many questions！This was so good！ Elle is the new girl at school and soon makes friends with some great people。 But due to too much stress and pressure she's suddenly starting to change， making it hard for everyone to keep up with her very different personalities。 There are five of them and I love how they are portrayed by the change of her hair colour。 With the help of her friends Elle starts to explore her condition and we find out there is one evil personalit Seriously？？ This is it！？ I have so many questions！This was so good！ Elle is the new girl at school and soon makes friends with some great people。 But due to too much stress and pressure she's suddenly starting to change， making it hard for everyone to keep up with her very different personalities。 There are five of them and I love how they are portrayed by the change of her hair colour。 With the help of her friends Elle starts to explore her condition and we find out there is one evil personality trapped deep inside her， commanding the others， waiting to break free。 It all ends with a major cliffhanger and the plot seems to be gettng quite heavy。 I can't wait to see how it continues！The art style is soo gorgeous， that alone is a reason I would highly recommend this graphic novel！ The characters are fantastic and the whole story is a unique representation of mental health。Thank you Netgalley for this arc！ 。。。more
