Dark and deep - That's what she said.

Speak: The Graphic Novel is an easy 5 stars.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Art/cover art: black and white = melancholy.

Plot/storyline: Amazing. I knew right away what had happened. When you have experience with those matters it can be uncomfortable. I found this trip to be heartwarming and I really connected with the characters and everything.

It may, however, be triggering for others.

Would read this again, definitely.

An incredibly heart breaking story that is done the service of being illustrated in the graphic novel format. Was pleased with the result.
