Soppy - Phillippa Rice
I could not believe how cute this story is. Still can't.
About half way through I started realizing I was reading it desperately fast and felt really nervous so I stopped and thought about my feelings and what was happening was concern that the story was too cute that something dreadful was going to happen by the end and it would be a horrible ending. Kind of like when you're watching a video and then you start thinking ''is this a *demon vid", because it can't possibly just be a normal video. I just really couldn't believe it was REALLY THAT CUTE OF A STORY.
Each page is a separate event in the life of this couple. Seemingly boring stuff to the regular joe who doesn't know what true love really is. Just doing things with each other, going places, talking about things, helping each other do stuff, happy memories... but as a whole collection, they are remarkably charming reflections about their relationship as a whole.
The art is really great too!!!!!!
Very easy to relate to unless you are evil or only want to think about how lonely you are. Then don't read this book.
*demon vids were really popular when I first started using the internet circa 2000. videos where you're supposed to stare really close to the screen and focus on this calm nature scene and then a demon face pops up and scares you and then you are scarred for the rest of your life and have to get picked up from birthday parties when your friends are watching things like ghostbusters or the witches.
