Will You Still Love Me If I Wet the Bed? by Liz Prince
3.0
Ok, first - beware. This book is tiny. Like, not a great deal bigger than my phone, tiny.
I actually read it and am reviewing it sooner because I'm terrified I'm going to lose the library copy I have.
I read Prince's [b: Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir|20256612|Tomboy A Graphic Memoir|Liz Prince|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1395769985s/20256612.jpg|28068606] first, and then put this on hold. As far as the form goes, it is very similar in concept to [b: Soppy|21535713|Soppy A Love Story|Philippa Rice|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1400882237s/21535713.jpg|40864662], something I read less than a month ago. Definitely don't go into this expecting something as polished as either of those books. It could easily be a daily comic, with moments in life, focusing on her relationships with her paramour.
In many panels, you can see the thumbnailing outlines* faintly under her final images. It's sketchy (but not necessarily in a bad way). The style (b&w, obvs) fits, to an extent, with the content, which is occasionally crass and crude, and honest (I assume) about the intimate dynamic of this very specific couple.
Cute, super fast read (it might have taken me a half hour).
I see that she has several other works focusing on her early dating life, so I imagine this could be an especially satisfying read if you've watched her try and fail to find her partner through a book or two.
Read if you like people enthusing about their happy relationships.
*Anyone know what those are called? Circles with lines across to show perspective on a head, for example?
