I really liked the music-as-guidepost style for this collection of short stories. It’s not deep, but very sweet and dear.

What a surprising emotional punch this short graphic novel has. Melancholy and sweet and observant (without ever being preachy). I absolutely loved the way Dean plays with panels, defying your expectations for how to read a comic and training you to ignore the divisions in places. The nearly monochrome palette was also nice. Definitely recommended.

Love and music and reflection. Slightly complicated. Take your time with this one.

From a purely formalist perspective, this book is my shit. And for that, you get 5 stars. Love the experimentation and dual narrative. The little interludes also give this book the pacing of a record instead of a graphic novel which fits the musical theme perfectly.
