It's not pretty and it's not supposed to be.
The story has heart though and how could one not love lil Nessie.
I love that Ray's sister Amanda refuses to let Ray renege on her taking care of Nessie.
Excellent moments: “Do you know what down means?” & “Like the last time I saw you I was literally crying in my underwear on the street.”
The songs
Sisterly bonds
Didn't like that Ray and Amanda's relationship at first seems like the cliche ex.
And the art style got to me; due to all the lines everyone read as old, ragged, or unfortunate looking
This was just gorgeous! A beautiful look into how relationships change and shift just like the people in them.
loved how ‘free play time' transformed them. about identities and families, and how changing one affects the other.
This cute short story made me feel things. It is very real and touched me in ways I didn't expect. The art style isn't my favourite but I got used to it pretty quickly and its definitely beautiful in its own way.
ugh as a tired, sad adult it made me sad to read about tired, sad adults. like i had a stone fruit in my throat and a pit in my heart. i loved it but i wouldn't keep it on my shelf kinda book.
