She Would Feel the Same

by Emma Hunsinger

Chloe and Phoebe's relationship has ended, amicably. Nobody instigated the breakup, they both felt it was time to move on. So why can't Chloe stop thinking about it: how neat and civilised it all was? Is it normal to just suddenly stop loving someone who meant so much to you? Is that... it? An unmissable debut comic work from a formidable up-and-coming comics talent.

The narrative is engrossing yet meditative and the book itself is beautiful, I love that you can see through the paper so that there's hints of the next page on the current page.

Part of Sept. 2020 Shortbox Collection

This is a comic for a quiet morning ft. a cup of coffee. The lines are simple and chaotic, dreamlike and insistent. I wish I had this comic while I went through breakups in college.

This will be added to my small collection of breakup zines and comics, because it really is perfect to scratch that itch, a reminder that sometimes it takes a moment for things to come tumbling down after they've broken.

The art style is really charming and so was Chloe. But I was excited to read this because I had never heard the premise of falling out of love with someone so quickly and neatly. I guess this is more realistic, that it just took time to set in that her relationship was over. I still really enjoyed it though, despite going in with the wrong expectations.

Chloe and Phoebe dated for 7 years, until one day they decided to stop and shook hands on it. This charming little comic is a story about processing trauma, about undying love dying suddenly, about dating lesbian new yorkers, and so much more. It's incredibly funny and surprisingly touching. And also a little surreal! All you need for a good comic

I loved the humor in this and the fact that the breakup was mutual. You always see the explosive breakups or the tear-stained breakups, but you hardly ever see the ones where both parties just... fall out of love.

Really fun to watch this story unravel and build steam, all the while accumulating clever call-back jokes and neuroses. Hunsinger deftly stacks all the blocks and then expertly knocks them all down. Masterful comics-making here.

So smart, funny and touching. 11/10 would recommend to every person!

[Grayson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing art style, beautiful storytelling, and so many laughs. So sincere and poignant in places, but Hunsinger doesn't take herself too seriously. Perfectly put together and very unique.

the story setup is a little trying too hard but once it settles into the specific idiosyncrasies and details of chloe's life I really liked it.

This was really interesting and gorgeously drawn.

(3,5 stars)

A well-needed take on a love story. Would’ve given it full four stars, but the ending seemed a bit abrubt.

The song that I was listening to directly before I opened this book was Cake's 'Short Skirt, Long Jacket', so I felt VERY called out

[Aglaé · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was touching and funny all the way through. The story telling keeps you grounded in the moment and I felt winded as I closed the book. Loved it!
