My favorite part was absolutely the art. I have never seen art like this before and the earth tones really added to it. Interesting story and I can't wait to dive in and read it again.

In 1976, forty eight years ago, people looked at things differently and were less excepting. Now Greer Johnson is single and pregnant with her married bosses’ child. Desperate to keep her condition a secret, he packs her off to live with his wealthy older friends in Key West, the Benders. Even though living in a tropical paradise, Greer feels isolated, sad, and longs for anything meaningful. The host family is nice enough, although prone to passive aggressive manipulation.
Greer’s only sources of solace are the Benders’ Cuban gardener, Pablo, and a strange but sweet little girl from the 1920s that Greer dreams about.

This graphic novel has amazing illustration and the most expressive faces.

I didn’t want it to end where it did. I want to know more about the future of Greer.

This was a very introspective graphic novel with a unique art style. I really enjoyed the way it was presented. Originally, I was checking this over for a potential teen graphic novel; I think it is better categorized as new adult. This is a wonderful exploration of the complexity of relationships, pregnancy, divorce, and the pressures of others on new mothers. I really felt emotional reading this; following Greer's journey, being sent away because of how her boss' choices affected her and their baby, the judgement and opinions of everyone else on Greer and how she should be raising her family... Deeply emotional, impactful, and introspective. Beautiful art and a gorgeous way to communicate Greer's story.

Breathtaking art and a realistic storyline that will leave you feeling weightless. I loved the variety of colors that changed with the story tense. I felt like Greer, Pablo, and Kate were all real people that had been illustrated. I'd recommend this book to lovers of historical fiction and people who want to feel everything in a story.
