Love Languages by James Albon
3.5

Love Languages is a sweet graphic novel about Sarah, a young English woman working in Paris. She is dissatisfied with her job and struggling to learn French. On a random trip out of her apartment, Sarah meets another expat, Ping who is a working as a nanny after leaving Hong Kong. Sarah and Ping patch together communication through their limited French and begin learning some of each other's native languages. 

Sarah and Ping bond in a unique way, and the book highlights the communication struggle and beauty of this connection. I felt that as a friendship story it was beautiful and believable, as a romance it was a bit too insta-love for me. The art is beautifully painted, but again isn't totally in line with my personal taste. 

I'm glad I read this and I think it will be enjoyable for many readers of adult graphic novels.
