I don't have any good thoughts on this book. The story has no direction. The main character is an overgrown child. And the art is hard to look at. The story of a firefighter that has a life changing experience doesn't work unless the firefighter accepts that his life has changed. This story tries to show what this person goes through after his life changes. The problem is he spends his time acting like his life's over. That is until a woman steps in and helps him out. Three different women help him move forward with his life. Each one just gives him a wink and a smile and its onto the next stage of his recovery. By the time it gets to the girlfriend savior I still don't care about the character or anything he went through. The main character just seems like a selfish jerk who acts like he wants to earn what he gets in life until he gets something he doesn't want.

I read this book through NetGalley. I thank them for this book. #NetGalley… (meer)

4 STARS

“I received this eARC from netGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is in no way affected my opinion of the book, or the content of my review.”

May I just take a minute and express my love for the cover by just admiring it? Yes that way THANK YOU!

This comic/graphic novel was really realistic and heart touching because it dealt with real life issues and that was amazing. I deeply enjoyed it for what’s it represented. Great thanks to this wonderful author and illustrator for their efforts.
I liked the family and friend’s support plus the good and bad relationships all made the comic stand out.
however the main character was kind of an A** hole, I did not appreciate his character that much, he should know one thing if you choose a job like that you do not do it for FAME, you do because you want to help people and not be famous because that’s just wrong. minus one star for that

Overall, It’s Very realistic and relatable.

I can't say that I enjoyed this comic too much. Although I appreciated things other than the comic itself: Kickstarter funded, a percentage of all profits go to firefighter charities, and the idea itself.

The execution of the story, however, was bland at best. It hit all the beats it was supposed to, when it was supposed to, and was so predicable it became boring quickly.



Also the art style is not one I enjoy reading, but that is a personal quirk.



So yeah, this is probably just not for me as a reader, but I can see how others might like it.
