I’m not sure, I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would, it was okay. I think I was not in the right mood for this book but I have read it.
I really liked the character Valentine!

Throughout the book, Clementine writes about her experiences in life from the ages of 17 to 30. Early on, she talks about her struggle to come to terms with her sexuality. She nearly sleeps with a guy that expresses interest in her at her school, and wonders why she can't reciprocate the feelings that he has for her. It isn't until she meets Emma that she realizes that she is more interested in the same sex.
Emma and Clementine have a whirlwind of a relationship that could be toxic at times. For starters, although Emma likes Clementine and expresses attraction to her, she simultaneously pushes her away and says that Clementine doesn't really like her and that she's simply having fun with her until she meets a guy that she'll leave her for. Which, ends up being
I watched the film before seeing this book at work and deciding to check it out. Quite frankly, this graphic novel is immensely better than the film. Although the original story is much sadder than the novel, the writing is better, it isn't overly focused on Emma and Clementine's sex lives, and it portrays the love the women have for one another ten times better than the film ever did.

In summary, it's too simple to be such a shared story. There's nothing unique or moving in this story that separates it not just from other queer stories, but from real life. It was both simpler and sadder than I had expected.
