A review by travelseatsreads
Wet Moon 20th Anniversary Omnibus Vol. 1 by Sophie Campbell
dark
slow-paced
2.0
Wet Moon is a sharp slice-of-life graphic novel which follows Cleo Lovedrop as she heads off to college on a tumultuous journey of self discovery. As she finds herself immersed in college life, surrounded by quite a quirky group of friends she realises that life is rarely always sunshine and rainbows.
The illustrations in this graphic novel are absolutely perfect, the edgy monotone sketches with contrasting colours really help convey the antics and dramatics of quite an unusual group of friends and they really saved the book from being a DNF for me.
I wanted to love this one and did at the start but by the end I began to find it all a little bit one tone, and it honestly began to feel every day of its 20 year age. While the book does look at topics such as sexuality, body image, self harm and mental health, the approach did feel quite stilted and dated.
