Heart in a Box by Kelly Thompson
2.0
After a painful breakup, Emma wishes to have her heart taken away from her to be free from the pain, and gets her wish granted by a strange man. However, she soon realizes that llife with no heart is worse than life with a broken heart, so she wants to get it back. For this, she'll have to travel across the country to get the pieces of her heart from the people they've been given to, and find a way to convice those people to give her the piece back.
I liked the general idea of this graphic novel, however, I found it too short and not deep enough. I would have loved to know more about this system of trading heart pieces, or about this strange man thanks to whom it all started. But I understand that the graphic novel format doesn't allow to go in as much detail as a novel would. That's actually why I normally never read graphic novels (I only picked this one because I got it as a gift).
Also, I really didn't like the drawings, which definitely is a hamper in a graphic novel.
I still recommend you to read it if it sounds interesting. I'm clearly not the right reader for this kind of book but it doesn't mean it isn't good!
