review 1: This is the cutest book I've ever read. I had seen samples from it on the Internet a few times and I always thought they were adorable. I picked this up today as a birthday gift for a friend and I decided that I would read it before I give it to her (don't tell her). It's a very quick read; it probably took me twenty to twenty-five minutes to get through it. There's isn't really a plot. Instead, there are snip-its of the two main characters as they live together. The art is charming and fits incredibly well with the tone and nature of the book. I love it.
review 2: 'Soppy: A Love Story' is the illustrated love story of author Philippa Rice and her real-life boyfriend. It's more a series of vignettes, most of it without words, but I was quite taken with it.Thro... moreugh a series of panels we see boy and girl living their separate lives, and slowly coming together. Panels show them living together, having milkshakes together and cuddling on the couch. True love isn't always about the big things. It's the small moments that make up a life. The odd sleeping habits, or sharing a living space. Everyday things like grocery shopping or watching television or deciding to garden or not garden are the activities that make up a life.It was sweet, as you might gather from the cover illustration. While it may lack the arc of a story or any tension, it's not a bad valentine to true love. Yes, it's quite soppy and sappy, but there's nothing wrong with that occasionally, is there?I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this sweet graphic novel. less
