review 1: After reading the first book, I had a better idea what I was getting into when I borrowed this one from the library, so I did not have the same disappointment I had the first time around. This was a clever story with a twist, that certainly resonated with my professional experience, so I enjoyed that aspect of the book. My biggest criticism is that the story is just too short, but I guess that is the nature of a graphic novel.
review 2: I gave the first Aya book 3 stars mostly because it seemed to lack closure. Now that I know that this slice-of-life ensemble story is a series, it makes much more sense. This second Aya volume is as gorgeous as the first and slowly builds out the title character's web of friends and families and their secrets with humor and love... more. I see on D&Q's webpage that there's at least one more volume. I could keep reading these volumes indefinitely and be happy. less
