  <default-description>Ariel Schrag concludes her turbulent ride through high school in the long-awaited final volume of her acclaimed series of compelling and strikingly honest autobiographical graphic novels.&lt;P&gt;Set in Berkeley, California, &lt;I&gt;Likewise&lt;/i&gt; takes us into the holy grail of teenagers, every bit as terrifying as it is liberating: senior year. Struggling with a major longing for her ex-girlfriend who has gone away to college, her parents' post-divorce relationship, anxiety over the future, and all the graphic details of her complicated life, Ariel sets out to document everything and everyone. And when she discovers James Joyce, a whole new world of creativity opens up to her.&lt;P&gt;Written with unabashed honesty, insight, and humor, &lt;I&gt;Likewise&lt;/i&gt; is a brave account of one teenage girl's search for truth.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't enjoy this graphic novel nearly as much as Awkward, Definition and Potential. The author started using a stream-of-consciousness technique that I grew to loathe.
