3.5 rounded up to 4.
A pretty quick read, and an impulse grab when perusing the YA section because I haven't read all of Gene Luen Yang's works ([b:Boxers|17210470|Boxers (Boxers & Saints, #1)|Gene Luen Yang|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1359199413l/17210470._SX50_.jpg|23691809] and [b:Saints|17210471|Saints (Boxers & Saints, #2)|Gene Luen Yang|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1359199657l/17210471._SX50_.jpg|23691810] are sitting on my shelf...) Probably considered YA for length/previous works by author, though it does deal with some heavy topics.
Three short stories, illustrated that all have a little bit to do with an imagined environment that may not necessarily match reality for various reasons- escapism in 2 out of 3, capitalism for another 2/3 (if you were wondering, the third story matches both those imo). Great use of color to show the differences between worlds. The third one is the standout for me.… (meer)

I thought the premise had real promise, but it turned out to be pretty hokey. The future Graces weren't really developed at all, which was a shame since there was a lot of potential there. I also thought that Lily should have been discussed for more than 2 pages, given that she is in the title.
On the plus side, I loved the illustrations.
