Heart in a Box by Kelly Thompson
2.0
I thought I'd like this a lot more than I did, purely because I've just read Kelly Thompson's Hawkeye series and it was so good, but this has a very different tone. This book is definitely more adult, it feels darker and generally that's not what I'm looking for in graphic novels, sometimes it works really well but I definitely get along better with fun, cute comics overall.
I wasn't really keen on the art, in the occasional scenes where there was action I couldn't really tell what was happening, I think the way the hearts were drawn were beautiful but other than that I didn't think the art looked very nice or conveyed the story in the best way possible.
I also didn't really like the main character, it was kind of difficult to connect with her, and while I like the general premise of the book a lot, I don't think it was executed as well as it could have been. I still love you Kelly Thompson but next time I'll probably read some of your lighter, cuter stuff.
