Comics Will Break Your Heart by Faith Erin Hicks
5.0
I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Two houses, each alike in dignity... and with surnames that have great meaning to the geeks of the world.
This is a story about growing up, finding your place, and following your heart. The story begins with Mir, who lives in the small town of Sandford in Nova Scotia, Canada; she is diligent and hard working, doing her best to get into university, putting every cent into a savings account. Then enters Weldon Warrick into her life. Yeah, that Warrick. As in the Warricks who run Warrick Studios. The Warrick Studios that publish the Tomorrowmen comics. The Warrick Studios that is debuting the trailer for the Tomorrowmen movie at Comic Con.
The Tomorrowmen that Mir's grandfather co-created with Weldon Warrick's grandfather.
Wealthy Weldon represents everything that Mir's family lost and doesn't have and she is resentful for that. But, as she soon learns, she and her family represent everything that money can't buy and all that Weldon wants. It'll be more than Skylord that flies this summer...
I really enjoyed this novel, and loved both narrators, who have great voices. Neither are perfect, making them all the more real and makes you want to root for them even more. There's no insta-love, but there is definitely insta-curiosity, which leads both Mir and Weldon to seek the other out and learn more, developing feelings slowly, which I love.
