So I sat there a while, trying to think of what I was trying to say, because You Can’t Just Kiss Anyone You Want is a bit like a domino run or a chain reaction and then I realized what I wanted to say was You Can’t Just Kiss Anyone You Want is a kind of like If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, but in Communist Poland, wherein if you try to give your classmate a kiss, a whole horrible list of events transpires, but in the end, your classmate writes you a cute note that you send her back because even totalitarian governments can’t stop you from feeling. Awww….
But don’t get too awwww…. Someone gets sexually assaulted. People disappear. No one trusts anyone else. Welcome to your Socialist paradise, comrades.
And, as I almost always feel with graphic novels, it went by so fast that it felt like skimming a deep pond that had so much more to offer beneath the surface.
You Can’t Just Kiss Anyone You Want by Marzena Sowa went on sale April 19, 2017.
I received a copy free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
