The Wrong Place is a gorgeous and odd book. It’s painted entirely in vibrant watercolor and without panel borders or speech bubbles. It took me a few pages to get the hang of reading the loosely structured pages, but the fact that each character’s dialogue is written in a different color helps a lot. The story opens up at a very awkward party hosted by Gary, the one person in the book painted all in gray. Gary is guy that no one wants to talk too, but a collection of his old school and work friends have shown up at the party because of a rumor that Robbie might be there. Robbie is the coolest guy in town- all the girls want to do him, all the guys want to be him- but by some quirk he and Gary are very good friends. This is a story about social interactions, chance meetings, loneliness and friendship.
