I got this book as a part of a book swap and I gotta say, my swapee has great taste! This is a sweet honest graphic novel about getting over a break-up after a long period together. I wasn't aware of Corinne Mucha before, but I'm looking forward to following her work now, which is uniquely quirky and expressive.

Unsure what my feelings on this are? It’s fine. Some of the comics are good, some less good. Still can’t believe she thanked him in the acknowledgments.

Love the art, as always, but I didn't groove on the story. It felt like it wasn't written for an audience so much as a catharsis for Mucha. Which is cool. I just wasn't that into it.

I read the whole thing in 30 minutes and immediately started it over from the beginning again.
Corinne Mucha offers such vulnerability in sharing her own experience with immense heartbreak and the process of getting over it. As someone who is currently in the midst of this transition, I found this comic way more helpful than sort of self help book. I loved it.

Corinne Mucha, you're my favorite, but you broke my heart twice in this book -- once by saying that the Violent Femmes' "Blister in the Sun" was a song from the 90s (when it came out in 1983), and once by implying that the movie Say Anything came out in the 90s (when it came out in 1989).
I might spend three years getting over it.

Corinne's work is fabulous. Not only does she have a unique drawing style, but her narration stays very true to her throughout her work (specifically and generally). I enjoyed that this book was a long-form story about getting over a heartbreak, but it had a good amount of humor and lightness to the heavy subject.

I loved the art in this collection, and couldn't help but laugh at the Brain/Heart exchanges. I also loved how she illustrated her hair, the antenna pony tail I found fascinating. In this short, colorfully illustrated comic memoir Mucha takes her experience with a difficult break-up and exposes her pain for all to see. I found it brave and humorous and pretty truthful. No matter how you try to reason with yourself, sometimes it takes years for the heart to Get Over something that the brain knows is gone.
I've only recently started to get over losing a notebook on a Megabus I took to Chicago once, so obviously I've got my own brain/heart issues going on!
