Publisher Review
Great art! ZOO A sensitive and touching story. BD CHANNEL Vives knows how to relate intimacy, desire and embarrassment. It is an album to read and reread. DBD Don't miss one of the best comics of the year. TMAGAZINE Bastien Vives manages to bring out in small touches, by the positions of his characters, by their looks, by the simplicity of their conversations, the power, the ambivalence and the sweetness of feelings. WEEKLY BOOKS This paper teen-movie has a universal force, enough thickness and troubled reliefs that we cannot sum it up to a summer romance. THE INROCKUPTIBLES
