alivaster 's review for:
Always Human
by Ari North
What can I say about this graphic novel besides... it's BRILLIANT. It's everything I wanted and so much more. Not only is it written wonderfully, but it has stunning illustrations that are colorful and fun. This novel proves that graphic novels can tackle important topics with grace and beauty.
If you're looking for warm and fuzzy feelings and also want to learn about how to tackle some current topics and themes, I highly recommend this book. It's heartful and diverse storytelling at its finest. The best part about all of it? NONE of it feels forced. It's so seamless and smooth, something that I've been craving in the novels that I've been reading - graphic novels or not. I was absolutely delighted by the fact that it included different cultures and had LGBTQA+ and disability representation. All of it was handled super well too.
The characters are realistic. They are loveable. They are relatable. Honestly, you can't help but cheer them on, but you're also learning and understanding different POVs as you do it - though it's not 'in your face'! The characters grow from strangers into lovers and I CANNOT wait at all for book two.
Highly highly recommend for everyone to experience.
