tw {internalized homophobia}i've read this so many times but it's the first time i got to read the kindle edition. there's no difference but i was excited.you know, i get this. being a kid or teen and being in this bubble where everything outside of you feels bigger than it is and your feelings are biggest most overwhelming thing in the world and sometimes it becomes to much or you've been taught something and it takes years to unlearn it. i just hope they turn out okay when they're older...
Deceptively simple: adolescent girls gone giant in giant, scenic landscapes because that's exactly what adolescent love feels like--huge and outsize and epic and impossible. Perfect use of color and scale and scope--I swooned mightily. A real gem, though I wish it were longer.
Short and honest and SAD. My heart hurts in the best way 😭
Wow.Amazing art. Intense story line.Coming of age.Too short for me. But nevertheless good.
This little sapphic story was sweet but I think I need to bite the bullet and admit that Tillie's books aren't for me. As much as I want to adore them and as much as I relate to them, they feel so emotionless to me. I think it aims for melancholy but lands somewhere between dreary and hard to understand, and it's a trend in all of her books.
A short and poignant storyline and, nicely drawn graphics!Tillie Walden`s i love this part is an example of how a graphic novella can be simple yet intense. This is the story of a friendship-relationship between two girls.Blurb:In her follow up to the critically acclaimed The End of Summer, Tillie Walden tells the story of a small love that can make you feel like the biggest thing around, and how it’s possible to find another person who understands you when you thought no-one could.
3.5 StarsThis was such a lovely graphic novel that is realistic and also sad in so many ways. I think that the main metaphor was perfectly captured in the drawings: sometimes love can make you feel like the biggest thing in the world and it was so nice to see this concept depicted on the page, it really made an impact. I'm giving it 3 stars just because it was a little too short for my taste.
A heartbreaking romance is told in a series of its smallest -- and yet biggest -- moments.One of the few nice things about moving is going into your new local library and finding books that have been on your TBR for like forever.UPDATE 10/14/2021:This story is now reprinted in Alone in Space: A Collection, a worthwhile collection of Tillie Walden's hard-to-find early works and other odds and ends.
3.5 starsThis is really cute but way too short to get attached to the characters and their story so only 3.5 stars from me.
well now I’m sad
Tillie Walden's art is so freaking gorgeous 🥰
The illustrations are so lovely and I love the idea behind it, but it was just far too short for me to really form a connection with the characters and their relationship.
Tillie Walden's artwork is beautiful and she's such a great storyteller. I wish this had been longer.
More like 3.9This is a very short graphic novel story that goes through the highs and lows of a relationship between two young girls. It's both concise and subtle, so even though it's short, it makes an impact. I enjoyed it!
