dark emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

2.5

The paneling is okay, and I really like the meta-texuality in the relationship between image and text - general the bits about story telling both in its meant to be shared and in the means of memories and making sense of life for oneself were the interesting parts for me. 
As a family story autobiography it was okay but I felt the lack of depth in her mothers part of the story, which is okay Alison can tell this story however they want but also, yeah I would love to see the counter balance on it.
The part that really made me cry and one part that gonna stick with me is the OCD memories.

dark emotional funny mysterious reflective medium-paced

A queer masterpiece. Complicated, beautiful. Rich with literary allusions. A queer English major's wet dream.
