I've been reading Octopus Pie online since it first started, so I had read these stories before, but reading them all together, back-to-back and with Gran's commentary between chapters made the experience even richer. Octopus Pie is a serial web comic that is primarily about Eve (short for Everest) Ning and her friends and family as she lives through early adulthood adventures and pitfalls in Brooklyn. The series overall has some of my favorite elements, namely being comedic and self-deprecating while also being truthful and heartfelt. I relish spending time with Eve and Hanna and Will and Marek and Marigold and Park and Julie and Mor and all the others, but it's impossible for me to tell you what the book is about. It's about these characters and their lives, their jobs and relationships and parties and ridiculousness. And it's great.
