I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together: A Memoir by Maurice Vellekoop

challenging emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

This is not your typical graphic novel. It is a the story of the artist Maurice Vellekoop's journey to acceptance from the religious, conservative, immigrant family that he grew up in. This story is full of candid self-discovery which literally left me in tears (both happy and sad) by the end. I loved to see therapy being highlighted in a positive light as it truly shows how forgiveness can heal wounds you weren't even aware were there. Such a beautiful, inspiring story. And the artwork!! You can see the Sleeping Beauty inspiration on every page. 

Thanks to Pantheon for the gifted copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
