The author explains in the beginning that the book was originally written as an informatonal and inspirational pamphlet to hand out to other teenage single moms. There isn’t much detail or depth to the story, but it was enjoyable to read.

The ride together
This memoir had an interesting structure, with some chapters written in comic form and authored by one sibling while the other chapters were straight up text and written by another sibling. The execution was lacking and I ended up just feeling disappointed. I didn’t care for the old-school comic art from the brother and the sister’s writing was too sentimental to be original or engaging.
Hopefully this book writing approach will be attempted by more talented authors because I still think a hybrid comic/traditional work has great potential.
