It ain't that deep, but I doubt it's meant to be.
Guaranteed quick fun.

I love Tara Booth and I love this trashy, beautiful wordless comic about finding your perfect match. I want every spread to be my phone background.

I struggled a bit with this one, and was glad that I got someone else to read it so I could talk about it with them. The book starts off with what seems to be an awkward sexual encounter, in which I felt she is shamed by her partner for her sexual desires; but upon more reflection, it seemed to be an awkward sexual encounter, in which she is confronted by her partner because she sprang something upon him that he was not expecting and which it seems they had not discussed. So... sort of an issue of consent. But the book ends with another case of consent- this one being completely explicit, though; 'don't touch my cake' means just that; yet in her sleeping-pill-induced, butterfly-led night journey, she sees the sign and eats the cake anyway. And when her roommate is mad, she gives her a gift and then they're okay. So... the message kind of felt like it's okay to do whatever you want, as long as you apologize or give a gift afterward. And I don't know that I'm on board for that. But I like the art style. And I could be missing something.
