I gave this book 3/5 stars the artist was beautiful hut this was not my favorite of the three stories it was written well and I did enjoy it. I will be recommending the series to others. The art style was my favorite part of this story, so unique and creative, I loved it.

Dementia is incredibly scary and it affects everyone around the person who has it. It’s nice that Ed is getting a chance to reconnect with his granddaughter before everything gets worse and that she’s getting a chance to get to know her grandpa.

The soft tones of most of the story perfectly contrasted with the more vibrant tones of the flashbacks, but overall, the art left a little to be desired. The eyes in particular threw me off a bit.

Even though this particular installment of the series wasn’t especially sad, I’m afraid this kind of story is not for me. My heart is already breaking just imagining Ed’s future, I’m too soft.

Okay, I'm jumping in -- in the middle of the series. I couldn't pass on reading it after reading the description and seeing the beautiful cover. Lily follows Lily, Ed's granddaughter, as she settles into living with her grandfather. I really enjoyed the story, flashbacks, and the lyrical storytelling that enters throughout the book. I love that Ed and Lily are connected through music. It made me think of my own grandfather and the connections we had. I would recommend this series to someone whose queer in a small town, missing their grandparents, or someone needing to feel hopeful right now.

As an artist, I was completely captivated by the way the blue and pink tones seamlessly shift between the past and present—it’s such a brilliant visual touch. I fell in love with every single character, and every time something happened to them, it absolutely broke my heart. This story left me so invested, and now I’m counting down the days until the next series—I need it immediately!

I absolutely LOVED the first two books in this series. This third instalment was high up on my wish list. I live in Calgary and follow the author. So when I saw there was a new book I was psyched. The colour scheme is gorgeous. The heavy topics are dealt with so naturally and beautifully. The characters are all so unique and memorable. I look forward to more more more of this series.

With a soft colour palette and glam-rock inspired style, this graphic novel hits emotional beats about Ed's trans granddaughter and his ongoing struggle with progressing dementia with sensitivity and mindfulness.

Although some formatting errors did impede my experience (ex. word bubbles going from single to double spaced on the next panel, text not centred or sized properly for the bubble, tangents throughout) and there were often some panel angles that were bizarrely chosen and broke the flow of the page, LILY is still quite an enjoyable read overall.
