“You can feel so alone but then realise how many songs, poems, and art are about the same thing you are feeling. it's great.”
I Always Think It's Forever is a personal memoir by the graphic designer Timothy Goodman, describing his whirlwind romance in Paris - its conception and ultimate downfall (the name is a giveaway).
This book is like food for the soul for anyone who has experienced a breakup of sorts.
The writing is mushy, at times preachy but the cute doodles distract you from the preachy-ness.
Moreover, it is refreshing to see a man challenge toxic masculinity and advocate for vulnerability and empathy.
(Bonus points for not relying on female characters for emotional heavy lifting but rather doing it himself).
