I wanted to love this. I didn't love this.
Two parts to a graphic novel: story and art.
STORY
As a mother, I thought this would rip my heart out. My heart is still 100% intact.
Daphne acts like she should drive around with a God Bless This Hot Mess bumper sticker. That ending did nothing to redeem her in my eyes. I don't know if it was supposed to move me, but I was just irritated and glad to be done.
ART
Meh. This just really wasn't my cup of tea. I agree with many others that (at least some) color panels would have really helped. I'm also going to clump in lettering with "art." The lettering was also not my cup of tea. Something about it made me want to skim longer sections (and admittedly I did skim many of the longer sections towards the end).
