Potential is AMAZING!!

This title couldn't have portrayed my own life in a more realistic fashion. Ariel Schrag is an absolute genius!

Funny and honest without being sentimental

Ariel's work is beautiful and compelling. Her high school coming-of-age story is so personal, so awkward, so terrible, and still so delirious with potential... you'll recognize it immediately. Five stars.

you'll emphatically love this book

Rarely do i like comic books, yet Potential is in a category all its own. Not only is it humorous and witty but it also a personal and real account of ariel schrags junior year of high school. queer youth can definitely relate to this book. A book i would highly recommend but be warned that it is rather addicting.

Ariel Schrag continues her tumultuous passage through high school in the second book of her acclaimed series of frank, insightful, and painfully honest autobiographical graphic novels. Written during the summer following her junior year at Berkeley High School in California, Potential recounts Ariel's first real relationship and first-time love with a girl, her quest to lose her virginity to a boy, and her parents' divorce -- as well as the personal and social complications of writing about her life as she lives it. Along the way she hangs out with her favorite teacher, obsesses over clothes, gets drunk, smokes pot, and tries to connect the biology she reads about in textbooks with the biology she's living.
