Really enjoyed everything, but the first comic. It just really did not work for me.

I was glad that the collection started with The End of Summer because that one was my least favorite of the three longer comics. I Love This Part and A City Inside were both so good. I also liked getting to look at Walden’s earlier works and learning about her artistic influences.

Tillie Walden will probably forever be one of my favorites because I love her art style. It's so unique. You see a graphic novel by her and you know it's hers almost immediately. And getting to see how that style changed over time? Amazing. I loved the little notes she included as well, talking about her own process as an artist and how she was influenced while she was creating.
I don't know why it took me so long to read this particular collection, but I love that all her early work is together in one place. Something I definitely need to add to my own graphic novel collection, and I don't know why I haven't yet!
There's so much emotion in this book, even though some of the stories are short. For sure something I want to revisit again in the future!
