review:
'You Can't Just Kiss Anyone You Want' by Marzena Sowa and Sandrine Revel is a graphic novel that takes place in another time and place where innocent things can make governments feel endangered.

A little boy and girl are at a movie. He moves to kiss her, and it becomes a big issue. Along the way, his father's poetry is questioned because it's subversive. The boy realizes that his father is in danger. The father realizes the son is in danger of losing his innocence. It's a story that takes place in an unknown Eastern Bloc country about 50 years ago and it's about what people will do to be free, even if it's just inside.

The story is good, as is the art. I think I wanted a bit more, and I felt a little let down by where the story ends, but I liked the message and it is heartfelt.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
