102/150 This looks like a murder mystery, but mostly it a slice of life story of a small neighborhood in the early 80's, all the lies, the infidelity, the drugs, the nosy neighbors, and the heart break of first love. Various POVs tell their sides of the story, both in the 80s, and then present day. The murder was kind of a red herring itself once you discover how it really happened. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫

Another graphic novel down. This was a quick read about the intersection of at least 7 individuals in the 80s. Back stories for each person led us to a conclusion and to ultimately learn about “the body” in the title but also all the other bodies, of our characters. I liked the vibe, and the various points of view held my interest.

willaful Huh, I would never guess from the cover that it's a graphic novel. 3mo
TieDyeDude I liked this. Not my favorite Brubaker/Phillips collab, but it was better than a lot of the review led me to believe. 3mo

This is one of those titles where the story doesn't match the cover. There is a body, but it is not the central story. It is more of a slice of life of a small town street in 1984, and the different colorful characters. The writing reminded me of Stephen King.

Just because there isn't much cause to celebrate America this year, doesn't mean I'm not going to use the excuse to break out the grill 😜 Still have to work tomorrow, though 😕

dabbe Agree 💯. I'm eating a grilled burger loving prepared by my hubby (who braved 113º today) to cook for us. Sorry you have to work tomorrow. #boo 5mo
