I love Boum’s comics. This is, i think, her longest graphic novel and it certainly piqued my curiosity. I found it to be true and complex and a little bit sad, but very real as the main character, Odette, navigates her seemingly dead-end 20-something life as a medical challenge looms in her eye. The relentlessness of the drawings pack more of a punch than words ever could and it uses the graphic novel format the way it was meant to be used—to present things as only visuals can. And it does so even while being rendered in stark black-and-white.
