It's Lonely At The Centre Of The Earth by Zoe Thorogood
dark
emotional
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!
I wasn't sure what I was expecting from this graphic novel, and I'm left feeling a bit empty, but fulfilled. I liked the mixed media elements and illustration style in the novel and the asides enriched the story as it progressed. I related to some of what Thorogood discussed about loneliness and it felt comforting to know that I wasn't alone. This graphic novel is heavy (very heavy), but there are glimmers of hope and small pockets of joy sprinkled throughout. Overall, I enjoyed this graphic novel and I'm definitely interested in reading more from this author!
(I had some issues reading this on the NetGalley Shelf app, so if you're a NG reader who wants to request this, be warned it might be difficult to access.)
