The last 100 pages or so were incredibly difficult to read, especially with imagery. It's about Harry Harlow's monkey experiments, which I struggle to understand why they were necessary to include in the first place, at such a graphic level.

jayisreading's review against another edition
3.5
While I did learn a fair bit, I did find that things got repetitive at times. Considering this, I thought the graphic novel could have been a little shorter. I also think it would have been really interesting if Radtke did a deeper exploration on loneliness during the pandemic a bit more, instead of just touching on it.
I wouldn’t say it was a revolutionary read, but it certainly was a contemplative one.
