This was a tragically beautiful story about the struggles of infertility, and how a woman and her wife deal with the loss of their unborn baby after trying for so long to conceive him. The illustrator's use of color was fantastic and incredibly moving, and fit perfectly with the story. My only complaint is the choice of font used. Hopefully, since this is an ARC, in the final copy they'll change it so it's a bit easier to read. Overall, an excellent and heartbreaking tale.

What a beautiful and heartrending read about a difficult, traumatic subject! The illustration is gorgeous and the characters richly developed. Worth every minute of your time and then some. Thank you to the author for sharing her story through this emotionally resonant graphic novel.

A beautiful graphic novel with a heartbreaking story. I'll be recommending this one to our patrons too.

Chabbert, with her willingness to tell her story and Carole Maurel's gorgeous and at times absolutely haunting artwork, has done an immense service to both those who have suffered loss like hers, and those who haven't, The former can read t"Waves" and be reminded that they aren't alone, and the latter can better understand what it's like to feel such pain and the journey that's always needed to try and recover.

To all fellow librarians out there - this is a powerful addition to make to your graphic novel collections.
