I don't read a lot of graphic novels, but I am so glad I read Finding Molly. With its gorgeous artwork and completely relatable main character, it was a joy from start to finish.
Struggling artist Molly is looking for a way to make money so she can move out of her parents' home and make it on her own. Catsitting a cat straight from Hell inspires her to create a web comic which leads to more catsitting jobs and even more inspiration for her web comic. As her followers increase, Molly's life changes as well as she searches to find her place in the art world and in life in general.
Molly is such a fun and relatable character. Just like any young adult, she deals with self-confidence issues as she struggles to fit in among her artist friends and escape the pressure put on her by her parents. And her adventures in catsitting are fun and full of feline mischief.
I loved the detail put into each page of this entertaining story. The artist gave each character a distinct look and personality and I enjoyed the mix of characters. And a couple of the images are just beautiful and worthy of being framed. Also, I really enjoyed how the varying artwork gave us a glimpse into Molly's thoughts and feelings.
Molly's world is highly entertaining and one I wouldn't mind reading more about.
*I received a free digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*

I've read a few graphic novels, but never a YA one. I love that this will be humorous to read as well as have a genuine plot behind the cat antics.
