This is the last day of the rest of your life

I'm blogging about a graphic novel I finished a week or two ago called "This is the last day of the rest of your life." It was a story about two 17 year old girls who hitchhike their way around Italy. Along the way the main character, Ulli learns a lot about herself and her morals. She has encounters with gangs, drugs and fellow drifters such as herself. It was pretty dark at times, but overall it was an uplifting story about growing up and being confused and frustrated with who you are. Because Ulli is a young woman, the issue of being mistreated by men is a problem in some situations. She goes from being an innocent carefree girl in the beginning of the story to a more conscious, worldly, but also colder young woman. Her transformation is very apparent at the end of the book and it perfectly capturing the essence of growing up.
