The art and concept of it are both really beautiful, I was immediately drawn in by the title.

The story felt like it took a little while to get going but was very sweet once it has gained momentum.
Whilst not 100% my cup of tea I think a lot of people would like this.

Love Languages tells the story of two women who meet and connect despite their language barriers in France. Sarah is from London and moved to Paris for a job, but she finds herself feeling lonely and disconnected from everyone around her. Ping is an au pair for a couple from Hong Kong who is struggling with the expectations they already have for their child. The two meet when Sarah falls down outside a bakery, runs away embarrassed, and then their paths cross again and again. The two become friends despite the fact that Sarah's French isn't the greatest and Ping's first language is Cantonese. They develop their own hybrid language and also begin to develop deeper feelings for one another.

This was a sweet graphic novel. The art was absolutely gorgeous and the use of color to convey what the characters were feeling was great. The way that language was portrayed as being understood or misunderstood was also really unique and interesting. My one wish with this book would have been to have gotten to know the characters a bit more, particularly Ping. It also felt like their feelings of the characters sort of developed out of nowhere, so I would have liked to see more about how that came about. Overall, I enjoyed the story and I really liked the artwork. I think this graphic novel will especially appeal to people who have an interest in linguistics.

A short read with beautiful color usage!

This story details how the paths of two foreign women cross, evolving in language fluency and blossoming into queer romance.

I would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange from an honest review. An interesting story following Sarah who is from the UK working in France struggling with a language barrier and no friends. She meets Ping who speaks Cantonese and little French or English. The two bond regardless and we follow their friendship turning into something more.
