A Song For You And I by K. O'Neill
4.0
"It feels like a pair of perfectly fine boots that's never fitted me right. Am i supposed to go on tryin' to wear 'em forever?" -A Song for You and I by K. O'Neill
An asutute Gay might be able to tell from the above quote that this story is a love letter to anyone who has ever questioned the labels the world gave for them. The story doesn't really dive into the nuances of that questioning, but rather sits with the feelings the questioner has. There are so many panels of expressions of our main characters as they simply feel something deeply. The art was so reflective and slow and ponderous. Things resolved very gently and simply in this world of pegasi and rangers and violinists who play to sheep. It was a warm hug and gentle stroll of a book about finding yourself and the pains that come with doing that, but also the unexpected delights. Fans of K. O'Neill will not be disappointed, and newcomers to this author will be pleasantly surprised by the gentle hand O'Neill offers as they guide you through their stories.
