Blue Is the Warmest Color by Jul Maroh
5.0
"The scent of Emma's skin stopped my heart. I was paralyzed, even though every part of me wanted me to throw myself at her."
I imagine every lesbian or bisexual woman is going to write what I am about to write. This took me back to the first time I realized a woman's brown eyes were staring at me, intently, and not as just a friend. The self-shame coupled with the intense passion of waking up...there is nothing like it and Maroh captures the search for identity so fucking well. The art is beautiful and the first time I read through Blue, I did so without reading the words-just stunning. Take a deep breath, grab some tissues and just read.
"Maybe this is eternal love, this mixture of peace and fire."
