Note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All of the opinions are my own and this did not affect my review in any way.
I requested this book not knowing what the plot was about, only knowing that it was the story having to do with our grandparents and I was immediately sold. I was definitely not expecting to find one of my favorite graphic novels of all time and a graphic novel that actually managed to make me cry my eyes out.
In Forget me Not we follow Clémence, who decidesto break her out of her nursing home and take her on a road trip to the coast so she can see her childhood home one last time. But traveling with a senior with Alzheimer’s Disease comes with a fair amount of challenges, and the journey is fraught with highs, lows, and near misses.
Like I said, I absolutely adored this graphic novel, we follow the two women as they go on a thrilling and joyful adventure while dealing with a very hard disease such as Alzheimer’s and it was both heartbreaking and heartwarming to go alongside them. All this graphic novel made me feel was miss my grandmother and feel empathy towards those suffering from this condition and those who have to take care of them. I caught myself crying a couple of times while reading this.
The art style, storytelling and characters are outstanding and they set the bar very high for me for what I expect to see in graphic novels. The author did an amazing job portraying such raw emotions and it is impossible not to get emotionally attached to what the characters are going through.
Overall, this is definitely the best graphic novel that I have ever read. This graphic novel is impactful, emotional and heartfelt. I recommend everyone to give it a shot because I guarantee you will fall in love with Clémence and her grandmother.
Thanks so much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for allowing me read and review this book.

J'ai le trouvé par hasard à la bibliothèque et j'ai dû prendre de temps pour le lire. C'était génial avec des beaux dessins et un histoire melancolique mais quand même optimiste sur un thème difficile. J'ai bien aimé la langue poétique et la manière dont Garin a raconté cet histoire.
Ow my heart.
This was stunning, poignant and just great to look at. I read this at the best time I think, this story is exactly what I needed today.
