The intro to this story immediately caught my interest. There was something in the drawings and the way the words were used that sucked me into this story. 

There were so many things about Lulu that brought back memories from my childhood and years as a teenager. Memories I didn't even know I had. The way Luly played with the toys, the things that caused Luly to be annoyed, hearing things your parents say about you behind you back... It brought back some warmth, some pain and probably healed a few wounds. It was so recognizable, because once upon a time I was the main character in familiar scenes. Both pretty and horrible ones. So thank you, Quentin Zuttion, for giving a visualisation and somehow making me feel less alone in all of this. Thank you, for bringing up harder subjects while also adding enough warmth and hope. 

Apart from the story, I am also a big fan of the art style! I was amazed by how the art was used to bring the fantasy world of children alive. Seeing the real world change into the ones they imagine being in, was such a lovely and beautiful experience. 

This is for sure a graphic novel I'd like to reread sooner or later! May the fairy tales you once had as a kid come true one way or another.

Special thanks to the author, the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read this story in exchange for an honest review. 

Qui c'est qui a encore eu envie de chialer ? Bah c'est bibi, hein... C'est pas un secret, les dessins sont beaucoup trop talentueux, moi, j'adore à chaque fois. Et l'histoire, pause d'un été, douce et dure à la fois, se dévore : une famille qui accroche, sûrement semblable à tant d'autre, et pourtant bien définie, bien détaillée et on finit bien sûr par aimer (presque) tout le monde ! 

Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read an ARC of this book!

This book was so much more heartbreaking than I was expecting, eventho I probably should have expected it form the title... I didn't cry tho, because it wasn't that kind of heartbreaking. Just the kind where you feel bad for the people involved.
So yeah, I felt so bad for Lulu, Cam and their mom. I hope they will continue to support each other through other challenges they might face in the future.

One sentence that came to mind while I read the last page of this was: At least they have each other.
And I'm very glad that they do.
