Review: Koko Be Good by Jen Wang

Koko Be GoodKoko Be Good by Jen Wang

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Another addition to my Daphne-induced comic experiences, one more tasty slice of life from her rich suggestion list. I liked the art, enjoyed the story but I don’t feel as if it left me with something valuable. Koko was annoying and I wasn’t interested in what she was doing at all, apart from giving me some ideas for being more spontaneous myself; I sympathised much more with Jon and the decisions he had to make in life, i.e, whether he would follow what he thought would be a step forward (going with his long-distance girlfriend to Peru for humanitarian work) or do what he had convinced himself was beneath him but deep down (?) would rather be doing.

Enjoyable, quick summer read that took me places; nothing too earthshaking – thank goodness not everything is earthshaking.
