F-Stop: A Love Story in Pictures

by Antony Johnston and Matthew Loux
Hennepin County Library paperback 167 pages
genre: YA graphic novel, realistic

Although this is marketed to teens, I see the target audience as 20-somethings. The main character, Nick Stoppard, is a college graduate trying to make a living as a photographer (though he isn't a good one, with his degree in English and a lack of training). He meets a model and gets thrust into the high-fashion world with his "new" style (various body parts) and a fear of being found a fraud. Nice story. I enjoyed the story more than the art (very angular). I definitely wouldn't buy it for my middle school collection, but it is a nice story about being true to yourself and your friends.
