Corinne's work is fabulous. Not only does she have a unique drawing style, but her narration stays very true to her throughout her work (specifically and generally). I enjoyed that this book was a long-form story about getting over a heartbreak, but it had a good amount of humor and lightness to the heavy subject.

Love the art, as always, but I didn't groove on the story. It felt like it wasn't written for an audience so much as a catharsis for Mucha. Which is cool. I just wasn't that into it.

I loved the art in this collection, and couldn't help but laugh at the Brain/Heart exchanges. I also loved how she illustrated her hair, the antenna pony tail I found fascinating. In this short, colorfully illustrated comic memoir Mucha takes her experience with a difficult break-up and exposes her pain for all to see. I found it brave and humorous and pretty truthful. No matter how you try to reason with yourself, sometimes it takes years for the heart to Get Over something that the brain knows is gone.
I've only recently started to get over losing a notebook on a Megabus I took to Chicago once, so obviously I've got my own brain/heart issues going on!

An amusing and heartfelt look at the end of a relationship and it's lingering effects upon life. Corinne Mucha's depiction of her breakup with her first serious boyfriend of three years, whom she had moved across country for right after college and with whom she remains friends in spite of their complicated relationship is humorous and sympathetic, with great art. Taking a self-deprecating look at her situation, Get Over It! is a great read for anyone who has lived through their twenties, attempting to figure out who they are and what the future is like while "playing at" being adults. Mucha has a great style, drawing in loads of witty metaphors, in particular the hilarious conversations between her brain and her heart. I will definitely look for more of her work!
