🏆 Baby’s first graphic novel was a winner! I’m glad this one caught my husband’s eye when we were bookstore hopping during Portland Book Week. I doubt I would have picked it up otherwise. For whatever reason, I’ve never been drawn to graphic novels...hence why it took me 37 years to read my first one. 

😱 I was surprised by how much context I was able to get from so few words and those duotone graphics, which are drawn in what the publisher describes as a “delightfully twisted, sad girl style”.

👁️ This dystopian story depicts a surveillance state in which Swedish citizens are closely monitored by peacekeepers who don’t simply restrict people’s actions, they also attempt to control their feelings. 

🐰 Betty is a woman in her 20s whose desire to fit in competes with her undisclosed depression. When she’s caught crying in public, the peacekeepers send her to a government-run health clinic to be treated for her illness. That’s where she meets Berina, a woman wearing a bunny mask who just so happens to be the most esteemed member of a secret resistance.
