I love reading Gabrielle Bell because she is so vulnerably honest, and also hilarious.

Intense and enjoyable
It took me a few pages to get into the storytelling and the art style but I quickly started to appreciate both.
I would love to read other work by Gabrielle Bell.

Mostly slice of life type stuff without much in the way of plot, but still enjoyable enough.

This book feels like what having anxiety must be like. Really good art. It really gives me a sense of the neuroticism of the author (if you’re actually reading this I’m joking and I really liked this book!)

I enjoyed reading this graphic novel which touches on Bell's anxiety (I can relate!) and deals with her struggling yet tenacious mother in Northern California, plus an assortment of oddballs and weirdos she meets along the way.

I really loved this graphic novel about the author and her mum. It’s a diary style book about various trips Gabrielle Bell takes to see her mum in rural California. I loved the pace and the lack of pretension. It’s clear that Bell tries to be be balanced and honest in her representation of people. Her mum and her seem quite similar and I think in real life I would find them infuriating and intimidating but I loved reading about their small adventures and rambling conversations.
