The Chloe series is a cute enough middle-grade graphic novel series. In this volume, she is suffering through Valentine's Day without her boyfriend, who has moved away. And all the mean girls are having kissing contests.




The second story in this volume is about her frying to remake friends with a boy she knew as a child, but now he appears to be a real pill.

Pretty typical middle school story. Friendships, and true friends, and loyalty, and all that stuff.

It is probably perfect for its demography, which is not I.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Not the series I would recommend. I don't think the story, the characters and the way they speak would ever make a good story. The artwork is awesome. However, I cannot stand the congested presentation and the negative facial expressions. Wanted a good wholesome read. Not for me.

I enjoyed this story. It was a nice graphic novel. Off to get the first 3 books in the series now, My heart went out to Chloe who is without a boyfriend, on Valentine's Day.

I almost thought this was a parody book by how stereotypical it is.

Recommend for grades 5+ has a nice friendship/Valentine's day theme.

spoiler alert also has a few "mean" girls/boys too but, friendship persevers.
