A fun graphic novel revolving around two people who meet through a fake dating app who discover that their fake relationship is better than any real relationship that they have previously had.
A really lovely story that is fast-paced and sweet whilst still packing a punch as it touches on domestic abuse, familial pressures, racism, sexism, etc.

Virtually Yours follows Eva and Max who have had two completely different life experiences, and have their own issues to work through. Max is forever remembered for his role in a movie when he was a teenager and has had a lot of issues with his past relationships. Eva has a mother who thinks all her problems would be solved if she would just find a man, when she's trying to find a job.
When her sister finds the app, Virtually Yours, that essentially gives you everything you need to prove you have a partner without actually having one, Eva is able to placated her mother and find a job. Max is able to utilize working at Virtually Yours to help himself heal and find purpose in his life. After a number of near misses in real life, they finally meet without realizing that they are interacting through the app.
I really enjoyed all the different issues this graphic novel explored, and loved seeing the relationship building between Eva and Max. I always appreciate when there's diversity in a story without it feeling forced and this one was perfect in that aspect. I loved all of the characters and how they were individual and unique, there are some side characters I'd love to see explored more in their own stories.

I would rate this a 3.5. It follows child star Max as he navigates his career and rough divorce along with Eva who’s trying to find a new job. Max’s wife is absolutely horrible to him by being controlling, physically and verbally abusive. On the other hand, Eva’s mother is constantly nagging her to find a job, criticizing her choice when she lands one and makes her feel like she’s going to be an old maiden if she doesn’t find a man. The main characters were good and they had loyal and supportive friends to help them. The story is pretty short and centers around a dating app match that goes sort of wrong, so it moves relatively fast. I’d recommend checking this out and being prepared to hate his wife and her mom.
