Short and sweet slice of life of two people and their relationship. With all good sweet romance moments, all their differences,disappointing choices, all the big little things that goes between two people. Art is very old school but it is great. Dialog is even better. Very real.

Frida Kahlo

A romance novel told in twelve individual vignettes, Twelve Reasons explores the relationship of young couple Gwen and Evan, and the ups and downs of their relationship. Crafted by Jamie S. Rich and Joelle Jones, this beautiful and lyrical work is a unique experience in graphic storytelling.

I liked this graphic novel but it wasn't what I expected. I was hoping for some sweet romance, clear and direct reasons why this person loved their girlfriend. Instead, it was a lot of scenes where they argue or fight, and while I understand love can come out of those places, I felt like I missed something. Or maybe I missed the point entirely. It didn't help that the author intentionally places the scenes out of chronological order, so I was left trying to figure out where in this relationship I was. Evan, the main male character, also tells Gwen, his (ex?) girlfriend "I hope you die" during a fight that he really creates. It made me dislike him almost instantly.

The beautiful drawings are certainly the saving grace of this graphic novel.
