5.0

This book is a dreamy little peek into two people's privates lives and what they're will to share with each other. Parrish's patience for the painting of each frame is so worthwhile for the colourful, organic finished pages that feel very human. This comic did something I haven't seen done so successfully in other works, and I would suggest not spoiling it if you haven't read it,

Spoiler

there is a book within a book, a story within a story. As on of the character reads a book she finds, we read it with her and are immersed in the shared act. This is immersion is furthered by a change to an un coated, warm tone, uncoated paper printed in black and white while all the rest of the comic is a more matte colour print. It's really enchanting
