Synopses & Reviews
A romance novel told in twelve individual vignettes,
12 Reasons Why I Love Her explores the relationship of young couple Gwen and Evan, traversing the ups and downs of their romantic life together. Told out of chronological order, these specific slices of love focus on all the things that make two people care for one another, be it something small like telling a joke or larger aspects of life, like the dreams that drive us or the secrets we keep. When put together, the pieces make a whole in the same way two lovers join as one.
Crafted by Jamie S. Rich & newcomer Joëlle Jones, this beautiful and lyrical work is a unique experiment in graphic storytelling, combining the things we see with the words we say to give us a glimpse of everything we feel.
Review
"Rich and Jones perfectly encapsulate the frustrations of young adult romance, the paradoxical blending of needs and desires with the profound inability to ever really become one with each other." Alan David Doane, Comic Book Galaxy
Review
"The banter between the pair is entertaining and perfect, but there's also an awkwardness in the script at times that really drives home a genuine sound and brings credibility to the characters....[Jones's] sketchy, flowing style is thoroughly pleasing to the eye, and the expressiveness of her characters really helps Rich to tell the story. (Grade: 9/10)" Don MacPherson, Eye on Comics
Review
"Aside from presenting [Joelle] Jones as a talent to watch for, 12 Reasons isn't a groundbreaking work. It's a good story, one that will be familiar to anyone who has endured the slings and arrows of romance, yet distinctive enough to fall for the characters and their plight. In the end we may wonder if Evan and Gwen can (or even should) make their relationship work and the fact that we care is the greatest testament to the strength of this book."
