“Moving, eerie, and contemplative, these short comics zero in on the experiences of loneliness and the subsequent longing for connection across a dizzying array of genres.” - Booklist, Top 10 Graphic Novels of 2024“What begins as a story rooted in everyday emotion dives into somewhere else entirely, magical realism if you will, providing a wistful lesson amid an astonishing opportunity, yet remaining largely grounded in reality. It’s exceptional.” - Slings and Arrows“Collectively, the stories leave readers feeling safe in Anderson’s hands, despite the heavy subject matter. Her soft drawing style, calming color palette, and willingness to step outside the boundaries of the comics form are inviting. Anderson proves a savvy guide to what it means to live and be seen in the world.” - Publishers Weekly
