A Bathroom Book for People Not Pooping or Peeing But Using the Bathroom as an Escape by Joe Pera

*A partial review copy of this book was given by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
From the 10 pages I've received, I really enjoyed it. The illustrations were incredible, especially the tiles in the bathroom and that gorgeous lake is still on my mind. It's a cosy read, and it shows how different people use the bathroom as a way to escape - to freshen up, to hide, to motivate themselves.
The review copy ends with an illustration of Lake Ontario which feels so peaceful and calm, especially with the text that seems to give a background of the rest of the story (if there is one, which I'm not sure of).
Despite it being such a short read, I enjoyed it and will read it again for the illustrations and a moment of peace.

Flawless. A staple for any accommodating bathroom. Beautiful illustrations and a heartfelt story.
Great conversation starters in the epilogue.

This is a cute, insightful, meditative little illustrated book for adults. It prompts imagination and reflection, with humorous illustrations. I just want to hang out with Joe.
