What an unexpected story. I knew it was gonna be jewish, queer, holocaust era, comics—but I could not have ever ever ever predicted the story I got. The characters were so rich and I loved the dual focus on Sammy and Joe. I could feel how intentional the choices were in building these characters and they felt so natural and alive.
The grief in this book was very poignant. So was the joy and elation and fear and hope. Really loved it.
