Review: A Song for You and I

Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Graphic for an advanced copy of A Song for You and I by K. O’Neill! O’Neill is always good for a cozy graphic novel story, and this one definitely fits the bill. Paired with their gorgeous artwork, this book will definitely allow you to escape the real world for a little while.

At its core, this is a story about growth, growing up, and learning from your mistakes. It’s also a story about identity and learning to be comfortable in your own skin. Especially when it comes to forming friendships and relationships with other people. This may be a quick read, but it is one that will linger once you are finished reading it.

As far as graphic novels go, this is heavier on the illustrations rather than the words. It lends itself well to immersing yourself in the story and just forgetting about the real world for a little while. 

If you need something cozy to start your March with, definitely pick this one up!
