First of all, I LOVE how the artist gave every character room to express their feelings and made us understand where they were coming from and how it all tied into the story. The side characters also played such a big part in the main characters’ growth, and I loved that. It’s been SO long since I’ve read something where conflicts aren’t magically solved through sex, the characters actually sit with their feelings, get miserable, overthink everything, figure out what’s really bothering them, and THEN TALK IT OUT WITH THEIR PARTNER. Like, actual communication?? What a concept. It made everything feel so much more real and gave the story that slice-of-life feel. Because girl, my man isn’t touching me until we’ve talked through our fight and actually FIXED the problem.
The drowning itself wasn’t even the most impressive part, BUT, I loved how it made me feel. I genuinely enjoyed the slow pace, and the ending was just perfect.
Shit, this is gonna be a long comment.
