Illustrated with b/w graphic drawings. Kyle has just settled in to his new city and job. He doesn't know anyone around but it's comfy enough in its boring routine. Erika, a pretty neighbor, catches his eye. They meet, they talk. Before they know it, they're an 'item.' Before they know it, in fact, they're very very together. It's a high but it's frightening. Is it really the right choice? Are they really for each other or just escaping loneliness? There's great moments. There's doubts. In the midst of happiness, Kyle gets nightmares of pulling his teeth out. Jesse Lonergan's simple style is moody, subdued, lets the pictures mostly do the talking over an expansive graphic novel that is very real and explorative.. New .
