capellan's review against another edition

NB: Review is of a free ARC from NetGalley.
This is a frank, thoughtful, engaging look at two people finding new love in the latter stages of life. It's well executed both in script and in art. My only real complaint would be a medical plot twist that's wildly improbable (though not technically impossible) and which feels rather superfluous to me.

- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated

- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

Un peu déroutée par cette fin...
Et étonnée d'y retrouver Ulysse et Pénélope, ils me hantent ce mois-ci !

Schoontje! Eéntje over ouder worden en toch nog genieten van het leven. Over opnieuw beginnen. Over het leven nemen zoals komt en over heel veel liefde.
En met hele mooie illustraties. Ik ben fan van Aimee haar werk.

3.5 Vond het begin sterk, naar het einde toe wat minder. Er zit een metafoor in, maar zal het binnen enkele weken nog eens moeten lezen. Misschien komt hij dan beter binnen.

Thank you to the author and Netgalley for giving me an ARC in exchange for an honest review
I must say that although this book is rather bleak, as some has put it, casting a shadow on growing older, I enjoyed reading this graphic novel. It's honest and a bit wacky and I did not expect the ending. Even so, I liked the book and the illustrations were lovely.
If you want to read a book about growing older, regrets, trying to find yourself even when you're older and finding love, you should pick this up.

Echt een prachtig verhaal dat heel mooi verteld en getekend is. Wel jammer dat het 1 bizar onrealistisch detail bevat wat mij helemaal uit de sereniteit van het verhaal trekt. In mijn headcanon heb ik n betere medische verklaring bij de symptomen die ook nog eens prachtig bij het thema past. Maar eigenlijk moet je niet teveel nadenken bij dit verhaal maar het gewoon ondergaan.
