The fire happened, and the bombs that made more fire happened, too.
Maybe a miracle happened, or maybe there's no such thing.
And when you love and then cannot continue that loving?
And when the walls of a heart designed for protection turn in on themselves?
What can be made of the spaces that we cannot witness?
Super interesting concept for a nonfiction graphic novel wherein the author is taking us through pivotal life moments that ultimately leads her to become obsessed with abandoned and rotting buildings.
I think this is a perfect read for someone in their early 20s still struggling to make sense of life and discover themselves.
The storytelling was disjointed at a couple points and there's not a lot of closure.
Quietly sad, reflective and philosophical, this was a really interesting read.

I feel like this book was interesting, but the target that the author wanted me to hit was missed. Interesting art but I feel like the storytelling was very harshly separated and there's no closure.

Imagine Wanting Only This is a graphic memoir that doesn't say that much and shows it in a way that reflects that. Perhaps I just didn't hit the same wavelengths as Radke does, but I found the memories presented to be formless and sometimes lacking in detail, which could be credited to the smooth and flat illustration style. That being said, I don't have anything against Imagine Wanting Only This either, and could understand why it is connecting with certain audiences.

Lots of interesting ideas, but never quite gets over the hump.

A very cute, informative, relatable graphic novel. I finished it quickly and I'm glad I picked it up. It's a big focus on family, finding self, changing direction, just life. Very down to earth
