Praise for Tina’s Mouth:
“Instead of just charting the discoveries of a smart kid’s adolescence, Tina’s Mouth can make you feel them. This is familiar material, yes, but it’s familiar in the way of philosophy and pop songs can be: At their best, the breathless feelings, dramatized by Kashyap and Araki might match up to a corresponding one in you – and then set it off like fireworks.”
- SF Weekly
“Slangy and funny and honest, like a mix of John Hughes, J.D. Salinger and Marjane Satrapi.”
- The A.V. Club/Onion

“Kashyap perfectly captures the universal angst of high school and puts her own unique, wickedly smart spin on it.”
- Janelle Brown, author of All We Ever Wanted Was Everything
“How to be? It’s a question that has consumed philosophers for centuries, from Seneca to Montaigne to Buddhist scholars, and it’s a quandary taken up with youthful passion and humor in Keshni Kashyap’s delightful new graphic novel, “Tina’s Mouth: An Existential Comic Diary”
- SF Chronicle
“A charming, hip, illustrated coming-of-age tale.”
- Kirkus
