Though it was visually beautiful, I found the story confusing the and the precise nature of the art made it hard for me to read. It might be someone else's cup of tea but it wasn't mine.

Simple but emotive artwork fills this graphic novel, leading the reader through a sad but relatable tale of living with your parents as they age, feeling adrift, and wondering what your life could be like if you had done things differently. Like other readers, I only wish it were longer! Can't wait to see what this artist/author does in the future.

I can't tell if I enjoyed/understood/properly processed this graphic novel. I have to admit, the graphic style was stunning in a way that felt like a noir piece, as if you were creeping into someone's life and watching without their knowledge...which also brings the story full circle since the character seems to be doing the same. And I think in that sense, it deserves 4 stars for how unnerving and confused you might feel after reading it.

A beautiful graphic novel about memory, aging, loss, coping, and how banal trauma often is when it shows up between us, interpersonally. This one was a quick read, but stuck with me a long time. I asked a friend to read it, too, and appreciated how much richer the story became after we shared our interpretations with each other. Highly recommended!

Beautifully executed, but I wish it was 10x as long.
