Book Review: Kyle's Little Sister by BonHyung Jeong




**Disclaimer: I received a free electronic ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.**

Genre:  Graphic Novel
Release Date: June 22, 2021  
Description:
"My name is Grace, not "Kyle's little sister!"


Having a good-looking, friendly, outgoing older brother sucks—especially when you're the total opposite, someone who likes staying home and playing video games. Your parents like him better (even if they deny it!), and everyone calls you "Kyle's little sister" while looking disappointed that you're not more like him. I was really hoping I'd get to go to a different middle school, but no such luck. At least I have my friends...until he finds a way to ruin that, too...! Argh! What do I have to do to get out of his shadow?!"

The art style worked really well with the story. The story itself was a good representation of middle school life, as friendships can become complex and fragile over the smallest things. Heck, I still see some of this nonsensical drama at work. 

I like Grace as a character. She handled herself in the situation she was put in quite well. Do I agree with every action, not really, but I'm sure most people would've done the same thing. I'm glad she was able to realize what was wrong and was able to mend and value her friendships. Also, her brother wasn't annoying or anything, just a typical brother character who happened to be popular.

Overall, this was a nice quick read.

Overall rating:  3.5/5
