I'm not sure how to describe this book other than incredibly DEPRESSING! Granted this is a book completely about death. In this book the author wrote about her own experience with loosing a loved one. Specifically about loosing her mother to Cancer. I felt like this book must have been incredibly therapeutic for the author to shed light on the most heart breaking event in her life. Although as sorrowful as this story was, this graphic novel was written in a very light and airy way. The author cracked a lot of jokes and drew most of the graphic novel in beautiful, happy pastel colors. There were no dark colors used other than at the mother's funeral. I personally couldn't relate to the main character's grief but I imagine anyone who has dealt with the loss of a parent would probably cry for the majority of this book. Why anyone would want to do that to themselves I'm not sure. I did like this book, but I would never want to read this book ever, ever again. I would also never recommend this book to someone, since this book is incredibly depressing. The author even showed real pictures of her dead mother with her family at the end of the graphic novel... like rip my heart out! This was an incredibly sad read, I don't recommend it, unless you want to be sad, but like why would you ever want to be sad?
