Waves by Ingrid Chabbert
5.0
I received a copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I have so many emotions.
This book is about a lesbian couple's miscarriage and moving on, based on the author's own experiences. It is a very heavy topic, but the beautiful illustrations and the use of colours (or lack of colours) blew me away. The gradual healing and learning to live again after the trauma could really be felt and seen in the images. Also, I loved that one of the women wants to be a children's author, and we actually see her get several rejections before getting published.
