### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    I loved this book
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2015*

I loved this book. It reminded me Persepolis. It is a very nice quick read. It is mostly about growing up in Turkey but there are also a lot of content which is universal like following your dreams, going up aginst the tide, being bullied, being different, etc. I think this would be a great read for all ages specifically teenagers.  It also provides great insight for tiger parents or other parents alike who might want to think twice before forcing their kids to make certain choices. After all of her struggles, it is very comforting to know that the author at the end followed her dreams and pursued her passion. The artwork and the drawings are also very original and pleasing. Big kudos to the author.

    "Dare to Disappoint"
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2016*

"Dare to Disappoint" is a captivating memoir of a girl's journey to self acceptance. Raised in war-torn Turkey, Özge seeks to meet the expectations of her parents and her country. This graphic novel is charming read that discusses the difficulties of coming of age, and growing up in a militaristic country. The author provides an accurate account of life in Turkey during the 1980's. While I expected it to be a heavy story, I was pleasantly encaptured by the lightness and quirkiness of Özge. The illustrations are whimsical and add a level of depth to this true story. I would recommend this book for middle to high school age students, but anyone could enjoy this self-searching, gripping story.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars

The book is not only informative but also has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand what it’s like to grow up in Turkey.
