Thanks to NetGalley and HarperAlley for an advanced copy of The Other Side of Tomorrow by Tina Cho to review! One of the things that drew me to this graphic novel was the art on the cover by Deb JJ Lee. It is stunning, just like the art in the rest of the book. There are some truly beautiful panels in this book, even if the story itself isn’t always the most beautiful.

Reading this, you might think that it happened a long time ago, but it isn’t as long ago as you might think. Because North Korea is so closed off from the rest of the world, it isn’t focused on as much in history or social studies classes. Putting this story in graphic novel form definitely makes it accessible to teens, and the story is sure to hook you from the beginning.

The emotions throughout this journey also come through beautifully. It’s not an easy subject to tackle, and Cho and Lee do it in a way that is easily accessible for teens and adults alike. Definitely a heart-wrenching, gripping story you’ll want to have on your TBR!
