Lovely looking comic by Luke Pearson. A wry story of a failing relationship, which documents all the things that we don't see - the missed details and opportunities of life. In Pearson's hands these range from the mundane through the life-changing to the fantastical. Perhaps a trifle twee, maybe a bit slight, still it has a good amount of charm and is a handsome volume. Overall, a well-executed, but not essential, comic.

A slightly eerie but beautifully told tale documenting the end of a relationship but also highlighting the small aspects of life we seemingly miss when our back is turned.
The term 'tunnel vision' springs to mind since Pearson depicts how a lot of our (potential) encounters in life occur just outside the periphery of our vision, and since we do not look around us nor observe our environment we miss out on weird and wonderful things, and other things that might just be the saving of us.
Having read this, I feel more aware of my environment now so I shall be keeping my eyes peeled - I want to see all the beauty of life, the fantastic, the weird, the strange, and of course, the wonderful.

Very sad short story about the things we miss while focusing on sadness. Great art and illustration.

Devastating and moving. I also found a small glimpse of hope toward the end. It’s comforting to know we all feel the same feelings, deep down.

what lurks barely out of sigh?, is it a frightening spirit or a missed connection with a lover?
enjoyed this, super short.

A very sad depiction of what happens when a relationship fails and all of the things we overlook or miss out on in life in the meantime.

I enjoyed it maybe a bit more than expected. The art was intriguing, and the narrative touching.
A pretty solid book.
