I think O’ Malley’s works are a beautiful entry intro into fun graphic novels. I read this after finishing Scott Pilgrim and wanting more and I can say that it was both incredibly entertaining and unexpectedly deep

This is probably one of the most creative graphic novels I've read that has a dark twist to it! The dark themes work even better with the light-hearted and happy art style the book has. I loved how self-aware our main character was, and how she talked to the narrator throughout the novel; never before have I seen someone create a dynamic like this. Overall this was an amazing read, and something I would recommend all around due to its originality!

brought this along with me to read on the plane. i don't know how many times i've read it at this point, but it's a favorite of mine. this time i paid special attention to the characters' outfits, how each conveyed a different sense of style and gave the impression of a unique person's wardrobe.

Me lo hubiera terminado en un día. El estilo de dibujo de O'Malley me encanta y refleja muy bien el carácter de los personajes. Tiene imágenes realmente bonitas a un lado de medio para contar una historia.
La temática del cómic es algo que a mí me llama y llega especialmente: poder cambiar el pasado y los errores. A pesar de pensar que no sería algo bueno, que realmente la realidad y enfrentarse a ella es mejor, no quita que crea que toda persona en este mundo en un momento desea poder cambiar algo y que sea el mundo distinto desapareciendo lo borrado.
No me gusta todo del final, pero tampoco quiero hacer spoiler. Deja un mensaje bonito de aceptar nuestros actos e intentar ser mejores personas. No aferrarnos a algo y cambiar todo por mantener una ilusión.
Es un cómic que recomiendo mucho a cualquier persona. Tiene bastantes elementos de fantasía en la trama y tiene partes divertidas.
Casi me da pena haberlo leído tan rápido.

the premise was fun, but the ending wasn't as gratifying as i'd hoped, it even confused me a bit. i don't really understand why katie got back together with her ex? it felt like part of the plot centered on their incompatibility... i don't mind plot holes, but it felt like there wasn't a larger moral to the story. but the use of colour was stunning and i enjoyed the fantasy element, which gave this book a more creative take on time travel. i also loved the supporting characters, and wished they had played a bigger role. the relationship between katie and the narrator was funny, and made the work seem self-aware and like doesn't take itself too seriously. overall, cozy and enjoyable.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book. The cover caught my eye in the library and I liked the art style.
It actually turned out to be a pretty well-done story about a woman messing with the space-time continuum to fix her dumb life decisions.
Normally I'm not into the time travel-y sort of stuff, but the characters established in the story made it a pretty solid read.
Nothing life changing, but an interesting story that I'd recommend to anyone who thinks the premise sounds interesting.
