About this deal

Bittersweet Ending: Raina breaks up with her old friends and doesn't get together with Sean. That being said, she still makes nicer friends, accepts her teeth will never look perfect, and rediscovers her artistic talent. Overall, the story leans more towards the sweet part than the bitter part.

Families can talk about how Raina's experiences with her teeth make her feel like a misfit. Have you ever gone through something that made you feel like you couldn't relate to your friends? Grew a Spine: In the climax, Raina discovers how horrible her friends were over the years and learns to stand up to them and call them out. In 2021, Salt & Straw partnered with Scholastic Inc. and made a line of Comics themed ice creams. [21] Telgemeier's ice cream flavor was called "Smile: Words & Pictures" which Salt & Straw said was "A pencil-inspired yellow and pink almond-infused sponge cake and Stracciatella “pencil shavings'' are strewn about a notebook paper-esque canvas, in this case trusty vanilla ice cream." [22] A-Cup Angst: Played with. When Raina's mother says she needs to start wearing a bra, the recently turned thirteen-year-old Raina drowns her out with a long "Mommmmmm." As of 2019, Telgemeier's books collectively have more than 18 million copies in print. [24] According to David Saylor, publisher at Graphix, "Raina single-handedly created the market for middle-grade graphic memoir". [24] Telgemeier's work has won several awards and nominations, including five Eisner Awards, and has been included on many lists of recommended books.

Raina's friend Melissa joins in on teasing her, but she does seem to genuinely like Raina, sympathizing with her after Raina's 8th grade class learns about her crush on Sean. This is probably why Raina and Melissa hang out together the most, and why Raina is only comfortable with telling her about her crush on Sammy. In her last scene in the book (the first day of high school), Melissa tells Raina to smile more often.
