A sweet, compelling story with wonderful illustrations. I can't wait to purchase this for the high school library that I work at. (Though, I also think it's an enjoyable read for young and adult readers alike.)

The total package. Intriguing plot, wonderful authentic representation, "taste of life" of the characters, and interesting premise.

Wonderful art and powerful storytelling combine for a recommendable graphic novel experience — worth sharing with readers young and old.

The idea behind this graphic novel, to highlight life as a teen with a chronic illness, is a noble one. However, the format is odd, the main character doesn’t get to explain her feelings enough, and the cliches are heavy. Furthermore, the books given to the main character to read each hint at what she might be going through, but she never reads most of them and as the graphic novel is written for teens if they haven’t read these classics they won’t understand the connections. If the characters were more developed, the art style more consistent with fuller pictures of many of the scenes, and the story more fleshed out, it would be a winner.

Thank you NetGalley for an early copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Sincerely, Harriet is the sweet story of a girl who moves to Chicago with her family. I loved how curious and creative Harriet was. The representation in this book was great, Harriet has MS and I think it was well portrayed in the story. I also appreciated the teenage struggles the author decided to include in the book, like for example Harriet having difficulties making friends. Pearl and Harriet's friendship was just the cherry on top, I enjoyed reading their conversations and their talks about books and the past.
I highly recommend this graphic novel.
