This sweet book takes the reader on a journey throughout customers dreams, as well as the context of associates who sell them and dream-makers that create them. The themes encompass what it means to be human in our current world, with common experiences like looking for inspiration, falling in love, and grieving over family members that have passed away. A highlight is when a dog's perspective is shared and the reactions of his loving owners that surround him. There might be something to the Author's note as I typically deal with trauma nightmares most nights, but had low stakes dreams the night I started reading this.

Easily one of the best graphic novels I've read this year.

I picked this book up because having dealt with the death of my Mom at the same age as Izzy and autism all my life, it's like looking in a mirror (complete with walkman). The pace of the writing keeps you hooked all throughout, as Izzy, Akka, and Raven look for clues to bring their families back. I really like how Reynolds discusses dreams and grief here, and the characterization given to a truck. The acknowledgements at the end are absolutely worth reading for further context. 

I enjoyed this one and am looking forward to the sequel!
