A favorite of mine submitted by dntanzer on August 29, 2019, 8:12am I absolutely love this graphic novel. It's absolutely gorgeous. The characters are loveable and the plot is engaging. Absolutely worth checking out!

Gorgeous submitted by pangr on June 21, 2021, 12:44pm Tillie is a marvel to read. I'm a little iffy at some plot elements (especially at the climax), but overall it tells a really fulfilling (and incredibly sapphic) story that kept me engaged to the end.

Wonderful submitted by JR2571 on August 11, 2022, 4:22pm This was the first work I’d encountered by Tillie Walden, but she instantly shot to the top of my list of favorite graphic novelists. Her tri-color style is striking, and the whole story has this ethereal, weightless feeling, as if you’re floating out in space.

Read Tillie Walden submitted by Poppy_Magee on July 17, 2023, 1:51pm I would recommend any Tillie Walden graphic novel. The illustration and limited color palette is stunning. Plus the stories are so bittersweet and emotional.
