Using gorgeous graphics this story will cause you to reflect on what gives your life meaning, what it means to wait for your life to begin, and the reality that death is both unpredictable and inevitable.

such a gorgeously illustrated, emotionally complex narrative that tackles issues of love, grief, and purpose. a little overly sappy at times, but overall a really inspiring, reflective story dissecting what it means to be alive, the inevitability of death, and the role of art in life.

Feeling like I will be thinking about this for a while, but can't figure out how much I liked it. I'm definitely feeling existential.

 The first volume was a weird read, I couldn't understand it and I didn't know if I liked it, the second volume got me hooked. The sadest one is the ninth story, and I cannot say I have ever read something like this before. Hard hitting and surprisingly unique, I am very glad I read this lovely book.

This graphic novel was highly recommended to me by a friend and I am so grateful to her.

The artwork in these comics was something else - just utterly spectacular. The saturated color took it to the next level and I really enjoyed the use of watercolors. 

I loved the premise of the series and how it was narrated in a very human, slice of life type way while still maintaining some fantasy elements. I also appreciated the emotional and thoughtful musings about mortality, living in the present, relationships (romantic, familial, and friendship), and grief.

The one criticism I have is that the main character felt a little flat at times. I found it difficult to fully connect with him.
