This book was great. Funny, relateable, and engaging. ( )

An interesting graphic novel. The art is distinctive but not elaborate, it does add to the story, but is not the kind of art you'd display for its own sake.

The story itself is interesting in a kind of schadenfreude type of way, you sort of wonder if the main character is ever going to get her life together, but in some ways know that her struggles are more fun. ( )

This book is so tediously awful that I almost stopped reading at page 50. But I decided to hate read it all the way to the end so my condemnation couldn't be dismissed with a simple, "Well, he didn't read the whole thing."

Reading this book is the equivalent of being stuck on a eight-hour bus ride next to a person who will just not shut up about themselves for even a single second.

Giant word balloons and captions literally crowd the mediocre art off half the pages. It would be easy to take away the art, typeset the text and publish this as a short story. I wish that had been the case, because then I never would have picked this up. Damn my compulsive need to read every graphic novel I come across! ( )

I came to this book with no preconceptions or expectations, and ended up loving it.

After her divorce, Russian immigrant Lena Finkle discovers the comedy and tragedy of dating as an adult.

Leaning more toward the novel side of graphic novel but filled with incredible artwork, Anya Ulinich is able to touch on intimacy, adulthood and love with a wonderful blend of clarity and humor. The drawing shifts from realistic to cartoonish and crude in flashback scenes, creating a unique way to mark both time and growth. ( )
