"Surviving the City Vol. 1" is a great graphic novel about two friends dealing with life in the city. The story is relatable, I have a friend and whenever I read this book I remember her and the memories that we created together in my country. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars for its story and strong emotions but a little weak because of the less information that the book gives us about the characters for example the book doesn't mention what happened to parents of Dez.
