It has a pure essence of high school drama but it needed with reunited friends. It’s super cute and I enjoyed it a lot. The art was stunning and I love the style of clothing that everyone was presented with!

Very good love story with amazing illustrations. I recommend reading this book.

Good read for a bit of a short, surface level fun or even just an honest and accurate portrayal of what it's like to be a teen in high schol just trying to work things out.I liked the art and a few of the characters too. Very cute.All in all, It's a god read.

Thinking it was about time to read some teen fiction marketed to/at girls, I picked up Aimee Friedman and Christine Norrie's Breaking Up (the cover lists it as A Fashion High graphic novel, so I assumed that Fashion High was an established brand in the teen-fiction arena, but a quick Googling has turned up nothing that would suggest the series is actually a series). The read, naturally, was light and breezy. It's an understandably inconsequential book, but one that's enjoyable in its excess of b...

This 10-year-old gn feels a little dated, though the sentiments are spot-on.

Breaking Up was an interesting novel that focused on how friendships can change during a person’s high school experience because of the pressures of school, social acceptance, and developing new relationships. For the four friends in this graphic novel, the changes came suddenly and without warning.I loved how the primary focus of this book was on the friendship aspect of the four characters, and not on their new relationships with boyfriends and other friends, and that the romance took a backse...

I read this back when I was younger and recently reread it. I used to love graphic novels and still do. They're a light and breezy read and so enjoyable! This one was always one of my favourites because it was about high school but it also dealt with mature themes such as sex. Also, friends growing apart s something that just tends to happen during your high school years. Things are so different when you leave school! Anyway, I love the beautiful drawings and constant high school drama that keep...

i can't believe im editing thisok, so this book wasn't exactly a.... pick of minein the library some of the boys (you know who you are) told me this suits me well...ughh.well, just to suprise them i got this and thought it was gonna be cheesyyet personally, it was quite good... sorta weird, but quite goodso, chloe has 3 best friends (isabel,isa!), erika (rika!), and MacKenzie(mac).mackenzie is a real problem in the book cause shes a...um... bad personwell... anyways iwanted to read sisterhood of...

Stephanie JonesGraphic Novel“Breaking Up” left no mystery to the reader because it basically shows exactly what happens on the front cover. Chloe is lying on her bed holding a picture of her and three other girls, and they seem to be best friends. That is a given. As I began to read the story, I realized it was just another typical high school story about teenagers and their many issues. These four girls- Chloe, Erika, Isabel, and MacKenzie have been best friends since elementary school and are

I'm going to repeat Carolina's 4 star review which I agree with entirely: "Good storytelling elevates standard teen yarn (friendship falling apart as coming-of-age takes girls in different directions). Recommend for girl readers (as well as those of us who remember being a teenage girl). Reminds me a bit of My So-Called-Life"

This book is one of my absolute favorites. It talks about love and how a teenage life is. It is about 4 highschoolers at the stage where they are all changing from who they are, and from that they get into a huge fight. After a while then made up and were friends again.

Story about friends growing up and sometimes growing apart and the feelings that go with that type of heartache. Read this book when I needed to see it most for sure.

...why do I put myself through such torture? Just... why? I just don't understand. I hate books/graphic novels/manga/anime/anything you can think of like this. I can never read them with a straight face or with love because I just HATE these types of books! I really do. Yet... here I am... reviewing this... because I actually read it. *Sighs* Sometimes I wonder what goes on in my head. Oh well... so I went to the library... picked this up... because I felt like reading a comic book. And this is

Light 7/10I enjoyed reading it, and the art style was really nice. I liked how it did explore friendship, even when it went from catty to underwelming at times.. Some of the thoughts and doubts that Chloe had throughout the story I was able to understand easily. I wanted more romance; their was a cute couple to root for and though it wasn't main focus it could've been more developed, It had too much telling rather than showing.Overall it was enjoyable and if you want quick contemporary graphic n...

Don't get me wrong--this comic is NOTHING deep or earth-shattering. But it's a simple story that is very elegantly told... great art complements a solid story of friendship dissolving in the face of popularity and peer pressure and falling in nerdly love. Norrie really gets both her teenage characters and target audience... these are some of the best-drawn clothes I've ever seen in comics (and I am NOT a clothes person to notice this kind of thing). Also, there are many great comics flourishes w...

I remembered being attracted to this years ago because of the gorgeous cover. This tells a tale of a clique and what happens when each person starts to fall in love and have other priorities. It tackled what happens when you keep secrets from your friends and when you do not like the guy they are with. Relatable.

The book I chose was “Breaking Up”, by Aimee Friedman. It was about four junior high school girls who were best friends but became enemies. At the beginning of the year, they were excited to begin a new school year together. That began to change when Mackenzie started to worry about her social status. She and Chloe (the main character) had been best friends ever since they were kids, but Mackenzie soon started becoming close with Nicola, the most popular girl in school. Other friends, Isabel and...

You know how the story ends as soon as you read the first page. Or even with a glimpse of the jacket. Predictable story notwithstanding, enjoyed this novel and read it in an hour. Because this graphic novel is rich in details, has lovely illustrations, and makes for an easy, pleasurable read. Also because it reminded me intensely of absolute childhood and teenage pleasures - Tinkle, Chacha Chaudhary, and especially Archie Comics and Mean Girls.It's chick lit through and through (of which I'm ext...

I like the part were Mackenzie drew them on a raft with words around it that might affect them as friends. It was also good because they were total different people but they still tried to stay together. I also liked this book because I could relate to it. It was eh when they had a hug fight and they never became best friends again. I would recommend this book to people who like drama.

I liked Chloe's character. This book does have a typical high school drama (a boy comes in between the 4 friends) between 4 girls, no doubt, but the way the girls have changed at the end is inspiring to me.
