A review by tulipcyborg
Dancing at the Pity Party by Tyler Feder

5.0

As a card carrying member of the "Dead Mom Club" (from ALS when she was 53 years old, I was 24 years old), there is a lot in this book I found relatable. While I can't relate to the experience of the cause being cancer, I still appreciated these details because it gave me a window into the lives of those around me that have lost someone that way. Tyler discusses aspects of the Dead Mom Club I've never tried to put into words but have felt deeply. The illustrations have whimsy, cuteness, and signs of thoughtful details. Funny and sad, sometimes at the same time, I highly recommend this graphic novel.
