Mehso-so

As an older sister myself, I can't help but feel critical of this story and Virginia, and maybe that's why I didn't like it very much. I mean, their mom left them and apparently never contacted them for yrs until *now*...idk, I have a lot of feelings, esp in hindsight. I can't express in such a short review. But the art was ok and at the end, I was curious as to what would be the end of their journey (tho not enough to read v2, at least not now)

What's the last thing you read in one sitting? Okay. Technically I read this post-earthquake/apocalypse-ish graphic novel in 2 sittings but only because I had to get up and make myself a cup of tea. ☕
