the story is super intriguing and i can’t wait to see what happens next although i’m a little apprehensive about how the DID is going to be treated in future instalments

i really liked the use of different hair colours to signify elle’s different personalities, and the dynamic in the friend group is superb

What a fun graphic novel! It gave me Inside Out vibes and I am looking forward to the next volume! I loved the theme of friendship and the cliffhanger that we were left with at the end.

The artwork in this is gorgeous! I seriously felt like I was watching an amazing animated movie rather than reading a book. I don’t know many graphics that are drawn in quite this way.

Also, Elle is an endearing character who I found myself instantly wanting the best for. I also don’t know many stories where the character has multiple personalities. I’d read volume 2.

Lovely art style, a story that is a mix of YA high school coming-of-age tale and fantasy elements which combine to make a story which may be a sort of contemporary fairytale or a commentary about mental illness being handled on a metaphorical level. Either way, it's quite charming and fun.

I received an ARC of this title via NetGalley (Thank You!)in exchange for an honest review.
The illustrations of this graphic novel are beautiful and remind you of a Pixar movie! The plot is intriguing and is nice to have someone with multiple personality disorder as a nice guy instead of a villain. People actually have these disorders and it is shame we always cast them in evil or demented roles. That cliffhanger has me ready for the next in the series as it ended far before I was ready!

Thank you to Netgalley and Europe Comics for the opportunity to read and review this comic. This was definitely a unique story discussing someone with a multiple personality disorder that sounds manufactured?? That's what it sounds like. The artstyle is awesome and the characters seem interesting as well. I think my only issue is that it felt at moments that the plot was telling not showing and one of the characters was truly annoying. Because of these points, I have to give this comic a 4 out of 5 stars. I am definitely curious to see what happens next.

Volume one follows our MC Elle just as she starts a new school, she is fortunate to find a wonderful set of friends who help her through some tough times.

I find both the graphics and story of this graphic novel to be mesmerizing. It’s clear that Elle has DID (dissosiative identity disorder) she might not be diagnosed yet but I’m assuming she has it. It warms my heart that she has friends who love and care for her regardless and accept her for who she is.

Having a story for adolescents that shows the different sides of mental disorders and that true friendships can still be attained is so important for those who suffer in silence.
I highly recommend this Graphic Novel.

Thank you to NetGalley and the amazing publishers/authors for giving me a chance to read & review such a wonderful story.

OMG what a comic.
I got hooked from the cover, and was so intrigued on what it was about. The illustrations are so beautiful and cute, I loved Elle's characters and really want to know where her story is going and will we find out more about her past.

A great comic about mental health, acceptance, teen drama and friendship, along with a female lead which is amazing.
100% reccomend!

The story is about Elle, a girl with multiple (multicolor) personality. I sure enjoyed meeting Elle(s). All her personalities are interesting. My personal favourite is the pink one although, I can relate with the brown one. The other characters are also adorable. The illustrations are vibrant and gives a webtoon vibe. The concept of the story is intriguing and I can't wait to read the next novel.
Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for honest review.

Uhhhh I really enjoyed this one!The art was so cute and I felt like I was watching a short film on youtube
I really liked the plot and the characters and I can't wait for the next one!

This was alight, though the weird time jumps and lack of smooth transition at the beginning makes it somewhat confusing.
Basically, Elle seems to be a girl with disociative identity disorder. She is aware of at least 5 different personalities inside her (shown in the graphic novel by different hair colors) and she has had to move to a new school because at least one of the personalities lashed out at a former schoolmate violently. However, the reader is aware of a 6th personality that seems to be unable to come out, who seems to be sinister enough that she is depicted as being in chains at the very start of the story.
Because this is so short, the graphic is the very very tip of what promises to be an iceberg of information we will learn about Elle, but there is simply not enough here to get REALLY invested in the characters and situation.

An amazing idea and truly beautifully executed through the art created to follow the story. The way the illustrator has drawn the characters lets you see and feel every emotion on the page in full 3D colour through their eyes. Stunning and beautiful do not describe the illustrations enough! If a photo can speak a thousand words, each of these illustrations tell you all the story you need to know.

The story however was a bit jumpy. The plot concept was so originally amazing, but the way it was written was a little hard to follow. I struggled so much from with the amount of words and speech on some of the pages, while on others the flow of the images clashed with the words on the page. I honestly believe with some rewriting of the speech this could easily be a 5 star graphic novel. For the moment I leave it at a 3.5 star. 5 stars for the illustrations and 2.5 star for the writing.

This first volume follows Elle as she arrives in a new school.
We see her find awesome friends but also dealing with tough times at home and at school...

The story is very intriguing, the characters are already growing on me.
But what stood out most was how pretty the art was! I could picture a beautiful animated movie in front of my eyes.

This seems to be a representation of dissosiative identity disorder (DID) which we have so little positive représentation of. I hope the language will be sorted out (it's best not to talk about "one person with multiple personalities"...) But all in all, I really cannot wait to see where this goes.

Tw: bipolar

I typically don’t read graphic novels, but this one really caught my eye. The cover is super cute and after reading the synopsis I knew I had to read it.
After a short series of misfortune at her old school, Elle is excited to start anew at a new school. She quickly makes friends with a tight knit group of students and her life seems to be moving in a positive direction. That is until she starts becoming over stressed and her mental health starts dissolving.

*possible spoilers*

After reading the synopsis, I assumed Elle was going to be about dissociative identity disorder, but I was quickly caught off guard when it’s revealed that she has bipolar disorder. Something I have. This character is super relatable and I think the author does a phenomenal job portraying the ugly, and good, sides of having bipolar disorder. Elle’s hair changes color when she changes moods because she feels like a totally different person, and that’s exactly how it feels when dealing with strong emotions with bipolar. Along with an amazing storyline, the artwork is beautiful. This was a quick and easy read that made me feel seen. I don’t know if this story is going to stick with the bipolar storyline, because it’s quite obvious that they’re something special about Elle. The story ended on a cliffhanger, but I’m invested and can’t wait to read more.

I received a free copy of this book on NetGalley. I am leaving a voluntary review and this review is based on my own thoughts and feelings.

Elle(s) tells the classic story of a new girl at school...but with a twist. At first you think Elle is just going through a lot of different emotions, which would make sense as she is a teenager and in a new environment, but you soon find out she has several personalities inside of her. As things happen to Elle (making new friends, stress at school) you see these personalities take over. Her new friends (who I'd like to learn more about) are understandably confused by these changes in their classmate, but the plot thickens when you find out Elle's parents are possibly keeping a big secret from her.

The visuals in this book are bright and colorful...quite eye catching. The style was very appealing. The plot kept me interested and I was bummed to find out the story ended on a cliffhanger!

I was provided this book to read in exchange for an honest opinion. I'd like to thank NetGalley and Europe Comics for this ARC.

In this graphic novel, Elle appears to be just an average teenage girl, but you learn that she actually possesses multiple personalities. In this story, Elle has to learn how to navigate her life as a high schooler with this disorder.
One of my favorite aspects of this book is the art. I specifically love how the art portrays Elle’s different personalities.
As a whole, this novel doesn’t feel very realistic, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if you're hoping to read an accurate portrayal of DID, this book might not be for you. I also think parts of the novel felt rushed and the ending felt too sudden. I would've loved if the story and characters were developed a little more.
But overall, this book is a cute story with fun characters, and original premise! I would recommend it for younger readers.

It was a really nice, colorful graphic novel about a girl with DID navigating schoolwork and the issues related to her disorder. It was good to see DID portrayed in a setting other than thriller.

I enjoyed many things about it: the characters (all the Elles and all of the supportive freinds that she has), the art, which kind of reminded me of Pixar movies, and the visual representation of Elle's different identities (it really helped).

I don't think there is anything I didn't enjoy. The visual representation of the inner struggle between different personalities didn't seem realistic, but well, it's supposed to be a graphic novel.

This volume ends on a cliffhanger, so I'm kind of curious what happens next.

Beautiful artwork!
Amazing writing!
A unique storyline!

What an absolutely wonderful first graphic novel in a series! I can't wait to read the next one once it's translated!

TW: Violence, depression, and loss.

About the book: Elle is just another teenage girl... most of the time. Bubbly and good-natured, she wastes no time making friends on her first day at her new school. But Elle has a secret: she hasn't come alone. She's brought with her a colorful mix of personalities, which come out when she least expects it... Who is Elle, really? And will her new friends stand by her when they find out the truth?

Thoughts: This graphic novel was beautifully drawn. The colors were just vivid and the story flowed. I felt so bad for Elle. A person can only handle so much when they are being pushed to the edge. I wanted to hug her and tell her that things can get better. The ending killed me and I can't wait for the next one.

3.5 stars

This was beautifully made. The art style is stunning and the story is very entertaining and engaging but the ending felt abrupt and left me with too many questions. If this is a series and I hope it is, I'm very interested in reading more about Elle, her story and her friends.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review
