Tillie Walden will probably forever be one of my favorites because I love her art style. It's so unique. You see a graphic novel by her and you know it's hers almost immediately. And getting to see how that style changed over time? Amazing. I loved the little notes she included as well, talking about her own process as an artist and how she was influenced while she was creating. 

I don't know why it took me so long to read this particular collection, but I love that all her early work is together in one place. Something I definitely need to add to my own graphic novel collection, and I don't know why I haven't yet!

There's so much emotion in this book, even though some of the stories are short. For sure something I want to revisit again in the future!
