The book Happyface is about a teenager who hides his sadness through his smile. Before sophomore, everything was fine until one day, all the events that happened just went wrong, which changed his destiny. He transferred to a new school and met Gretchen, which made him believed that maybe there’s still hope in his life. I personally think Happyface is facing problems that lots of teenagers nowadays are having such as relationships, divorce, switching schools, etc. He actually reminds me of myself and people around me because he always hides his sadness through his smile. Plenty of people I know throughout my life, including myself, hides the feeling that we’re currently having. I loved the part when Gretchen spent time with him because the author described details about the relationship between two of them. This is an awesome book and I’ll definitely recommend this book, especially for readers who enjoys reading graphic novels.
