Probably the loveliest book I read all year. The writing is filled with a warmth that matches the narrative, it's both sexy and sex-positive and is wonderfully queer with a fierce attitude that demands inclusivity and insists everybody deserves love. The characters are endearing and flawed, and the artwork is gorgeous, expressive, and detailed. The colours are beautiful and the paper stock is impressive and changes hue as you get closer to the present day, which is a subtle touch I really appreciated. It manages to hit moments of tenderness and devastation, nail real moments in relationships both good and bad, but ultimately leave you with a joy and positivity that were much needed this year. I don't usually like the term heart-warming, but it really is. It's beauty for both eyes and soul and I came away feeling warm and fuzzy and wanting to spread at least a fraction of the love that Marie does. Highly recommended.

While sitting at the library, trying to muster up some will to actually study, I stumbled across For the Love of God, Marie! and I immediately lost myself in the story (... I was supposed to study). So I have, for the past thirty minutes or so, tried not to ball my eyes out. This is such a lovely story, and not only that, the art style only empasizes it. I'm in love with this novel.

Personally, I didn't find anything good in this comic. Some people at list like the art from it, but I didn't (100% personal taste, though).

Greatest book ever published? Probably not.
A charming look at a very sexual(not sexualized, but sexual) woman. Yes. And it was just a pleasant read in general. With some pretty solid paneling. It's basically habibi, but without the inner conflict and more sexual, and a female character. It's not actually very habibi like.

Definitely the best graphic novel I’ve read so far, though it probably doesn’t stand up on plot complexity! I loved the art style and it was a very good read
