what a lovely and whimsical read! i picked up this graphic novel at my local comic book shop on a whim because i loved the art style! everything is beautifully illustrated, and i spent so much time just staring at all the backgrounds and details in each cell. i found the narrative and dialogue to be very humorous, but some of the deep 18th and 19th feminist philosophy references sometimes flew over my head! this is definitely a graphic novel that benefits from multiple passes. however, i enjoyed this first read nonetheless!
