I have mixed feelings about this one: it is exactly what the synopsis says it is and that's the problem. I know it is not fair to criticise a book for what it was not, but still, I was hoping for some dramatic twist or a grand revelation and was vaguely disappointed when it never came about. At least it's relaxing and the art is cute. Nonetheless, I appreciated the take on chronic insomnia and how it affects one's quality of life, mental wellbeing and subsequently the people around them. It's not a topic I see discussed often in books much less comics.
