Seven Places Without You by Juan Berrio, Fiona Marshall

Thank you to Europe Comics and Netgalley for the ARC to review

For the most part, the story was not for me because I was really expecting something much more unique based on the premise and the way the book was represented. Even so, what I did enjoy the graphics and the way the story was told. Unlike most comics and graphic novels I've seen Berrio was not afraid to display the progression of some scenes, which I liked since it has been my pet peeve in reading comics.

Going back to the plot, there were multiple scenes that featured people smoking, which I am personally against. This is the result of my rating being lower than usual. I expected our lead character to talk more about the places they were together in and perhaps their memories and whatnot, but I did not get a lot of that going through the book.

I got a gloomy vibe from seeing the cover and the title of the book, which spills into the color scheme throughout the pages, but the plot itself and the characters themselves were not able to represent that enough for me. And I need to mention again how the plot was just really not for me. And it did end weirdly for me.
