review:
'Alone Forever: The Singles Collection' is a showcase of the webcomics of Liz Prince. The comics are pretty funny and very self-deprecating.
Finding herself single, our character decides to try dating. This involves a series of missteps with online dating among other things. She seems to be attracted to boys with beards who are in to punk rock, which isn't a problem until she goes on a blind date and can't pick the right bearded guy out of a room. Her online dating escapades end in different hilarious failures, but to be fair, sometimes the problem is her. Her cats remain constant companions and sympathetic.
The art is cute, but the language and themes can be a bit rough at times, so it's not for kids or the easily offended. The characters are cute. The humor is pretty good and strikes the right tone without feeling pitiable or overly snarky.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Top Shelf Productions and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
