Wow, just wow. I am crying.
After losing my own grandma 2 years ago, pain never really goes away.
This was gorgeously illustrated, story was heartbreaking and beautiful.

This was one of the most heartwarming simultaneously heartbreaking stories I've read in a very long time. It was just so beautifully tragic. I'm at a loss for words because it was just so good.

This hit very close to home ðŸ˜
The art style is beautiful! It depicted the characters's feelings very well — the dialogs are very minimal, and weren't even needed to give depth to the story as a lot of the pages are only sketches.
The story made me quite emotional at parts, but I wasn't a big fan of the ending.

C'était sublime. Tant d'émotions et de poésie dans cette BD. Cela explore des relations que je ne vois pas souvent dans la littérature en général, et que je trouve pourtant tellement belles et importantes. En effet, c'est l'histoire de Clémence qui va enlever sa grand-mère atteinte d'Alzheimer et ils vont leur arriver des aventures sur le chemin entre la maison de retraite et la maison d'enfance de Marie-Louise, la grand-mère. Petit bémol, pour la fin qui m'a laissée sceptique. Mais, globalement j'ai été extrêmement touchée par cette BD et je la recommande vivement.
Forget Me Not by Alix Garin was incredible and I devoured it in a day! The art is simply amazing and a graphic novel was the best way to tell this story.
My favorite parts were when the main character and her grandmother reach the field with the forget-me-nots and also the ending that was emotional but also liberating.
Due to some nudity and violence this would be a good fit for mature audiences.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Une bande dessinée d’une grande beauté, autant par les dessins que par l’histoire.
