I can't believe you can read something this good for free. While it's not the best thing I've ever read, you can tell a lot of care went into the characters and craft of the comic. Certain panels were just so beautifully done, and the amount of tension throughout is minimal but perfectly taut. I like that the creator didn't want to spoon-feed the audience and instead just gave readers a glimpse into the lives and worlds of TJ and Amal. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and if you're looking for something simple yet teeming with life, this is the choice for you.

4.5 stars. This graphic novel has everything so far, except an ending (hence the 0.5 stars waiting to be awarded.) The characters are interesting and beautifully sketched in, especially TJ. The art is clear, evocative, with just the right amount of text. The occasional full color panel is gorgeous. More than worth your time.

Lord almighty, my FEELINGS. The ending was completely perfect and yet at the same time I WANT MORE I WANT IT TO LAST FOREVER.

I started to read this when it came out but I lost patience. I recently rediscovered this comic and couldn't put it down. It's wonderfully sweet and put a smile on my face on just about every page. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 instead of 5 is because the ending felt very abrupt. Like I was missing a page or two. Other than that I look forward to the author's next series!

This was such a touching story. I read it all in one go. The artwork is beyond belief. You can feel the emotion in every hue, every texture. The sketches are gorgeous. It is excellent and beyond superlatives.

The story is actually surprisingly sweet. It's a new take on the road-trip romance trope, between two people who come from entirely different worlds. It is well-written, feels surprisingly realistic and it structured really well. It is warm, tender, touching and funny in equal measures. You can feel the bond between Amal and TJ growing with every passing page. It is very obvious and palpable. The entire depiction is very heart-warming.

This one has ample scope to be made into a movie, if not a mini-series.

Esta novela gráfica se puede leer gratis online, y la traducción en español está en curso. Solo Googleen el nombre del libro y les saldrá la página. Si quieren, luego pueden comprar la versión en físico.
Es una historia sencilla, sobre dos muchachos que se conocen de forma accidental y terminan organizando un viaje en auto, en donde les pasarán cosas divertidas, se conocerán, aprenderán el uno del otro, resolverán problemas y hasta puede que surja algo más que una amistad.
Está muy bonita, me encantó.
La recomiendo para cuando quieran algo tranqui y rápido.
