Basically, she's unhappy because it is hard to motivate herself to draw and her boyfriend may be an alcoholic. And while she criticizes all the tourists who are trampling over the locals, that's all she really does. She interacts more with the ruins and plants of Mexico than any of the people. The longest conversations she has in Mexico are with her boyfriend, ex-pats, and other tourists. To provide context for their meandering, she interrupts the narrative sporadically to drop in two-page spreads of quick history dumps similar to what one might find in a nonfiction book for children. At least the art is nice in a fuzzy, unfocused sort of way, especially the color. My takeaway: Thanks for letting your country and culture be the backdrop against which I realize I need to break up with my boyfriend. Ta!

Kat had no responsibilities and nothing to tie her down. But she had graduated university with no plans. She was an artist who hadn't drawn in five years. She was lost. What's more, she'd been avoiding admitting to herself something that all of those around her knew; that her boyfriend, Richard, had some serious problems with alcohol. Looking for a fresh start, the two of them quit their jobs and embarked on a journey to Mexico for what what they expected to be an adventure of a lifetime. It led to experiences that changed both of their lives and to Kat rediscovering a love of art, a lifelong attachment to Mexico and the strength to move on. The debut graphic novel from Katriona Chapman is a beautifully illustrated recounting of a trip she made around Mexico back in 2003, interspersed with pages of her sketchbook from that time, as well as explorations of the cultural and bio-diversity of Mexico and its fascinating history. Follow Me In is part memoir, part coming of age story, part love letter to Mexico and is undoubtedly a major work from one of the best illustrators and comics makers in the UK.
