Pénélope Bagieu never thought she'd create a graphic memoir. But when she dusted off her old diaries (no, really this book is based on her actual diaries!), she found cringe-worthy, hilarious, and heartbreaking stories begging to be drawn. In Layers, Bagieu reflects on her childhood and teen years. The result is fifteen short stories about friendship, love, grief, and those awkward first steps toward adulthood.
