2 things this week:

  • This last week has been an adventure, that’s for sure. “Getting stuck” is a strong way to put it, but my flight out of Tennessee was cancelled while I was at the airport, so that was a bit of a situation. I made it back to my apartment (and my cat) eventually. 🙂
  • I got to meet my friend’s new baby earlier this week, and I’m going to go hang out with her tonight, too. I love babies. ❤

Blog hopping:

  • Hannah wrote about problematic tropes!
  • Kaleena talked about transitioning to a self-hosted site!
  • Sarah shared YA books dealing with mental health!
  • Vicky recommended books based on the emoji mashup bot!

Book Review: I love this part by Tillie Walden

5 Comments

I love this part by Tillie Walden
Rating: ★★★★☆
Links: Amazon • TBD • Goodreads
Publication Date: November 13, 2015
Source: Purchased

Two girls in a small town in the USA kill time together as they try to get through their days at school.

They watch videos, share earbuds as they play each other songs and exchange their stories. In the process they form a deep connection and an unexpected relationship begins to develop.

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.

I think that it took me all of ten minutes to read this book. It’s a graphic novel, it’s 68 pages, and it is very emotional. This is going to be a pretty short review because, like I said… 68 pages.

This was my first graphic novel by Tillie Walden, and I have to say that I’m impressed. While it was very, very short, it was also very, very emotional. I don’t think I was necessarily prepared for the amount of emotions this book would make me feel, but I really enjoyed it.

The only reason I’m not rating it five stars is that I would have loved for it to be a little longer and to explore things a little more fully, but all in all, this was a great graphic novel and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Have you read I love this part? Is it on your TBR?

I forgot how much I loved this album until a few days ago. I was obsessed when this album came out (way back in 2008!).
