My rating: 3.5/5 stars

Thank you Diamond Book Distributors and Magnetic Press for providing me this free ARC of Giacomo Bevilacqua's Graphic novel via NetGalley.

This was my very first attempt to read a Graphic novel and I am glad I read it. It was interesting to read a book in the form of pictures.

When I got this book I had no idea what to expect from this. But when I opened it, I was glad. the illustrations were beautiful. You can tell in each image what is happening. This story is about Sam who decided to spent two months in New York without talking to anyone, to write a story on his experience. The writer has used many good quotes here, but my favourite is:

"There are people who would look for or judge their ideal partner according to astrological rules, astral schemes, planetary alignments and influences.
Still, I think the only star we can rely on where love is concerned is the star we can all see. Which, in my humble opinion, divides the world into two great categories.
- Those that would rather watch it rise at the dawn
- Those that prefer it as it sets in the evening
The ideal partner is the one you find in your same category.
Full stop."

Isn't it beautiful? I think this would be favourite of many who will read this.

I liked the characterisation. The story is being told from the POV of two persons. The story was unique. But there are few things that I didn't liked:
1) The narration was quickly changing and at some points it was difficult to understand who was actually telling the story
2) The girl that kept on appearing in Sam's photo is unclear. I mean how Sam met her for the first time is still not clear to me. That last part was little confusing.

But inspite of these, I think you should definitely give it a try, as these are my opinion and it's possible that you don't find these difficulties.
