I m not okay with this book

That said, judging by the reviews I read on Goodreads a lot of people who like the TV series really hate the book. The book stars Sydney, a very depressed teenager who happens to have some weird mind control powers.

Forsman has expanded the first edition, which sold out quickly in the wake of the success of the Netflix adaptation of his graphic novel The End of the Fxxxing World , to include over 20 new pages as well as a new cover. Sydney seems like a normal year-old freshman. Forsman expertly channels teenage ethos and ennui in a style that evokes classic comic strips while telling a powerful story about the intense, and sometimes violent, tug of war between trauma and control. This rocky journey is as insightful as it is brutal. It may be the only way to wind up a story that lurches so unpredictably from the ordinary to the ominous.

If you watched Netflix's newest angst-ridden teen series I'm Not Okay With This and thought it strongly resembled the plot to a great young adult novel somewhere, you aren't totally wrong. Because even though the show is based on a graphic novel rather than a picture-less binding of thousands of words alone, the source material isn't just a script that was pitched to Netflix. Of course the more important question here is how the book compares to the show and, if you are so inclined to wonder, what the I'm Not Okay With This book spoilers are. Even if you are only halfway through the wild ride that is the Netflix Original, you might already be scratching your head trying to figure out how it all ends. And if you are prepared to spoil yourself silly with the details of the book to see if it lines up with the series, then you have come to the right place. One of the biggest differences between the I'm Not Okay With This book and show is the style in which the book is designed. The graphic novel was created by Charles Forsman, whose work inspired the TV adaptation to a point. But the live action series doesn't feature any of the animations for which the graphic novel is known.

It may be the only way to wind up a story that lurches so unpredictably from the ordinary to the ominous. This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers. But Syd is extraordinary in one way: she gots the telekinesis! Sam Quixote. More reviews and ratings. I think these would be better if he collaborated with another artist. Honestly, it was more upsetting than anything. So now I'll never know what was going to happen in S2. Besides being uninspired and abrupt, what a negative message it sends to gay kids dealing with their sexuality! If we don't make an attempt to understand and reach out to these young folks we have lost them, that's the basic point of the comic, I think.

She's skinny but not 'hot-skinny', she's dealing with the death of her father in silence, and her best friend who Syd is really in love with is dating a homophobic bully.
