electraa 's review for:

In: A Graphic Novel by Will McPhail
4.5
emotional reflective sad medium-paced

Wow.
I was not expecting for this graphic novel to make me feel so much and yet it did.
Such a good, real, accurate, punch-you-in-gut portrayal of loneliness from how we live our everyday lives, to how hard a simple conversation can become in an attempt to establish an honest connection. (loved page 73 where the main character is reflecting upon his conversation with the plumber who comes over and what it could have been had the right words in the right order had been used.)

I really really loved it and would recommend it to everyone who can stomach an exposure to all these raw and real emotions.

Trigger warnings: depression, loneliness, hopelessness.

I would love to purchase it and I must say I almost never say that for graphic novels.
