21: Blue Pills

A Positive Love Story
By: Frederik Peeters

Touching true story about a guy who falls in love with an HIV+ woman, and their trials and tribulations in navigating the relationship and her young son who is also HIV+. Didn't like Peeters' drawing style though. Its hard to consolidate in my mind a narrative about an attractive woman who is drawn in blotchy thick ink lines. If I ever teach that class in Autobiographical Graphic Novels, this would be an important one to include. Otherwise....

Recommendation: Meh
Grade: B-
