This was a really beautiful graphic novel about the reality of living with Asperger's Syndrome / high functioning autism. Marguerite is 30 - she loves her cats, she has a boyfriend and a job. She finds social situations really uncomfortable and exhausting. She doesn't really understand what people mean when they talk sometimes. After being laughed at by her GP, she finally gets a diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome and everything changes.
I found Marguerite's story heartbreaking but ultimately uplifting. It's so sad that so many people, especially women, go for so long thinking that there's something wrong with them. The story is straighforward and the artwork was really clean and clear and gave the script more impact.
