A Career in Books

About half ‘20-somethings making it in the big city' and half ‘behind -the-scenes in the lower rungs of publishing', with a healthy dash of book love and writer angst thrown in. The Asian American women's perspective felt like a key part of each character's story without making it the sole focus. The Veronica Vo character ties it all together. So many pearls of wisdom about life from this fictional author that feel widely applicable enough that I kind of want to shove this book into the hands of all people fresh out of college. I'll admit I'm still spoiled by full colour graphic novels to the point where seeing a colour cover open to black and white pages makes me a bit cranky, but this story has a distinctive art style and a lot to say text wise, which makes up for the limited palette.
