The book was sent to me by a wonderful friend.
The cheese puns...so wonderful. 'Zola's dry humor - perfection.
A wonderful graphic novel that tackles an important topic with humor and grace.
Also, grilled cheese.

I absolutely adored this book. It had no beginning, middle, or end. I found myself very invested in whether or not they found the books for their online orders everyday - cheering when they did and sighing when they did not. The epilogue made me a little sad, but I hope to one day read the follow up book.

The characters were pretty preoccupied with sex in this volume, which isn't my preference for reading. I adore Tori.
