Stole these from @Lacythebookworm and read them last night for #boutofbooks! I LOVED Was She Pretty. The concept and execution were simple but 👌.

pickThe premise of Shapton‘s short book is that everybody has an ex and everybody‘s been an ex. After discovering pictures of her boyfriend‘s ex in his apartment, she decided to interview friends and ask “What qualities did they have that their replacements didn‘t? And vice versa?” This book is the result. The art work is simple, but works perfectly.
These four graphic novels will be coming home with me for the weekend 😍
pickA study of the curiosity of your partner's exes. An illustration on one page, a sentence or short paragraph on the opposite page. Simple, yet it's made me think much more than anything I've read recently. Leanne Shapton's work belongs on my bookshelf.
Three graphic novels I've really enjoyed on being young and figuring out your place in the world. #startswithuvw #marchintorreading
so-soThis is an odd book, a bit experimental and unconventional. Basically, like an afternoon spent gossiping with your friends about their exes. Extremely heterosexual though one bi woman is mentioned so representation is skewed. This was okay.

so-soCame across this graphic novel at my fave bookstore today. I read it in about 20 minutes while waiting on the status of some books I brought in to their trade desk. It was funny, weird, sad, and not really any of that. I guess it was just meh. If you're super cultured and hella artsy, put it on your coffee table. If you aren't, pass it up... or read it at the bookstore like I did.
