Janet's been friends with Paul since they were kids. The only problem is, Paul is corporeally challenged. Ghostly puppy love might be enough for Paul, but when Janet meets the (alive) man who just might be the one, her phantom doesn't take it well. Then, when Janet finds out that the guy of her dreams has his own skeletons in the closet, their fledgling romance is hit hard. Will love overcome death? Or will their pasts haunt them forever?

Festering Romance,
This review is from: Festering Romance (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book, it was a great read with a solid story I think young and old people alike can relate to.
The story follows art student Janet and how she learns to leave the past behind and move forward with here relationships and life. The characters are fun and likable, even down to the 'antagonist' Freya, who sets up Janet on a date with the male lead Derek. Renee Lott's art style and comic format makes the book a smooth read while keeping the characters fun and exciting. The exaggerated emotions and poses really drive home the dialogue. Overall it's a fun book with a lot of heart that I really enjoyed reading.

An engaging story!,
This review is from: Festering Romance (Paperback)
This is a great graphic novel by a promising new cartoonist. The story didn't seem rushed or forced, and with that, you start caring about Janet and sympathizing with her situation before you know it. I couldn't put it down, and I was pleasantly surprised how things turned out in the end. There's some great themes concerning friendship and letting go, and it was handled in a classy and engaging way. It's a coming of age story in the same vein as Bryan Lee O'Malley's Lost At Sea. The storytelling is really top notch and very easy to follow, making this a great gift for that one friend that isn't quite into graphic novels, reads young adult fiction, but is intimidated or confused by the medium of comics. It would be a fantastic way to start a graphic novel library! The art is very expressive, but still very slick and precise. If you've ever been to Savannah, Georgia, you'll recognize the setting of the story right away, which adds some authenticity to the overall book as well. Highly recommended! I'm sure I'll read it again slower to enjoy the art a little more.

This review is from: Festering Romance (Paperback)
This book made me laugh out loud a couple of times. I found it to be very charming and I loved watching the festering romance develop over the course of the story. The characters have ghosts in their closets (literally) and find that it is impossible to move forward until they can get rid of what they are holding on to. I thought this grapic novel was very well done. I really enjoyed the artwork, and the insight into 20-something dating was spot on.
