The Diary of a Teenage Girl
b'
When we said we wanted more female stories in YA, this isn\'t *exactly* what we meant. Sadly Gloeckner\'s autobiographical comic/memoir is a misfire for us from both a storytelling and content perspective. Heller\'s film is a stronger, more streamlined approach but it features a distractingly beautiful Alexander Skarsg\\xe5rd in what is meant to be a frumpy, middle-aged man role.
Up for discussion: why is this book praised for being daring (primarily by men)? Is the film\'s use of animation a success?\\xa0
Plus: praise for Bel Powley in her big break through performance and lots of Brenna sighing!
