A Pros and Cons List for Strong Feelings by Will Betke-Brunswick
5.0
Will is a non-binary cartoonist who you absolutely don't want to miss. One look at these little birds will have you laughing, crying, and gripping the cover as you hold on for the ride of your life.
Will tells the story of their mother's last few months - of the awkward planning that happens, of the messy conversations we never want to have - and shows us the little moments of joy, of hilarity, and of heart-wrenching reality. Their cartooning style is scrappy and raw, and never fails to showcase their emotional journey.
It's a rare and beautiful thing to come across a book that sees you. This graphic memoir is about love, grief, and everything in between. It's about queerness and identity in a way that fits into the greater picture of life. It's about living life and learning to love it, even when it hurts. It's about looking directly at your pain and living anyway.
This is one of my favourite books of all time. If you're a fan of [a:Maia Kobabe|14706574|Maia Kobabe|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1630190527p2/14706574.jpg]'s graphic memoir [b:Gender Queer: A Memoir|58804710|Gender Queer A Memoir|Maia Kobabe|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1629336824l/58804710._SX50_.jpg|66595691], you will love this book.
