Giant Days, Vol. 1

Ah, the old “I haven't read in several days and am worried I forgot how so I need to read a (probably queer) graphic novel all in one go” maneuver. It never fails, folks.

Giant Days is about three women who are roommates despite many differences in personality. They're at college and are constantly swept up in dramatic antics. In one chapter, they all catch a campus bug and spiral off in different directions. It's hilarious and will resonate with anyone who's had the misfortune of being miserably ill in a dorm room.

I like that the characters are flawed and even abrasive. Everyone is figuring themselves out, and rarely is that graceful. The characters are distinct yet relatable, and it never gets too heavy. I'm excited to read ALL OF THESE.
