My Heart in Braille by Joris Chamblain, Anne-Lise Nalin

This review was made possible via an ARC through NetGalley.

My Heart in Braille is a cute graphic novel about a young man who has trouble focusing and doing his school work and the relationship he forges with his classmate who is going blind.

Victor and Marie-Jo's romance is very cute and feels natural despite the very small space we're given to see them grow feelings for each other. The relationship between Victor and his father and Victor and his friend, Hussein, plus his bandmates subtly highlight the importance of male relationships in a young man's life and I always appreciate that. 

The art was very cute and fit the story; I loved that Marie-Jo wore glasses, had freckles and red hair, and was the smart kid who was also ambitious and would do anything to achieve her dreams of going to a music school.
