first book of 2020, yay! (or not, since it's a comic)
I have been following Sarah's work on the internet for a long time. Adorakable and relatable introvert and creative mind comic panels are sure to fix your day.
But this book sigh didn't feel right. Maybe I'm being unfair and holding it to high standards, but this book lacked a coherent narrative.
Now before you come for my throat, in my defense, I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes comic strips in the newspapers. When I finally got my hands on the comic book collections, I was amazed by how well structured they were. Individual comics, while being an absolute masterpiece in itself blended with all the other strips effortlessly to give a collective theme.
This book lacked that. Also, I felt a little cheated at the lack of quantity of comics.
My fav bit was the texture of the cover of the book. The sweater part on the front page, made with actually sweatery material. That was pretty cool and unique. But overall, it was ... alright. Read the whole thing while sipping coffee at IKEA.
