My only complaints about this book are that it's too real and I wish there was more of it (and great news! There is a second volume!).

The art in this book is phenomenal. I love the use of color and I'm deeply impressed by how much world building and story goes on in the background of the panels. I feel like I could look at and discuss the art and themes of this book for hours. I did discuss it with a book club, and everyone at the table felt like it connected to their personal experiences.

A frighteningly realistic hyperbole that becomes less exaggerated every year

Très belle découverte que j'avais hâte de lire enfin ! L'histoire se comprend aisément et on commence à approcher de plus près chaque personnage.. lorsque le pire arrive !
