Le journal d'Aurore #2

A wonderfully chaotic bathroom scene sets the tone for this second volume in Marie Desplechin and Agnès Maupré's diary series — Aurore, red dress swirling, belts out an impromptu mirror performance amid a gloriously messy tangle of scattered clothes and laundry-line chaos. The subtitle Rien ne va plus ! ("Everything's Gone Wrong!") perfectly captures the delightful disorder on display. If you've ever survived the turbulent inner world of teenage girlhood, this 2017 Rue de Sèvres release looks like it gets it exactly right.
