The Faint of Heart
The Faint of Heart | Kerilynn Wilson

“Beautiful, tender, and relevant. Full of mystery, and not surprisingly, full of heart.”—Tillie Walden, award-winning author of Spinning What would you do if you were the only person left with a heart? The only person left who felt anything at all? Would you give in to the pressure to conform? Or would you protect your heart at all costs? Part Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and part Severance, this debut teen graphic novel is a vivid and haunting read for fans of Nimona and This One Summer. Not that long ago, the Scientist discovered that all sadness, anxiety, and anger disappeared when you removed your heart. And that's all it took. Soon enough, the hospital had lines out the door—even though the procedure numbed the good feelings, too. Everyone did it. Everyone except high school student June. But now the pressure, loneliness, and heartache are mounting, and it’s becoming harder and harder to be the only one with a heart. One day, June comes across an abandoned heart in a jar. The heart in the jar intrigues her, it baffles her, and it brings her hope. But the heart also brings her Max, a classmate with a secret of his own. And it may rip June’s own heart in two. Part speculative fiction and part cautionary tale, The Faint of Heart is a moving and ethereal debut that questions morality and the feelings that seem too big to contain.

This has a unique visual language and sisters who love each other. Two things I enjoy. Reminds me of Repent Harlequin Said The Ticktock Man, in that the world building is more emotive than concrete. I could see someone drawing potentially problematic conclusions from this book, but on the whole I think it‘s sweet and hopeful.

#ISpyBingo I was looking through my August books, thinking surely someone who reads as much romance as I do would have read a book with a heart on the cover? And I found this. 😂

I love the duo tone used to differentiate the different timelines. So simple and so effective.

This graphic novel is a weird, warm dystopia with beautiful art. Recommended.

I've only just started this graphic novel, but am loving the art style so far.

Really liked the notion, liked the color aspects - only color is the girl with the last heart. The premise is new; the writing mediocre. Art style is gorgeous. Don‘t have much else to say about it.
