Saint Catherine by Anna Meyer
5.0
Saint Catherine is a lovely graphic novel about a 20-something woman who is going about her normal life - she has beautiful friendships, a job she doesn't like, a caring boyfriend, a slightly overbearing mom, and a weekly ritual of going to mass on Sunday - until one Sunday she doesn't go.
After a series of seemingly inconsequential events, she becomes possessed by demons from hell.
This graphic novel is lovingly observant to real life - in both the artwork, which features details like earrings on the side table, and the writing, with moments like Catherine explaining how she wanted blonde highlights when she was thirteen. It's details like these that get you so invested in her story.
This story is about guilt, lies, and being a human with Catholicism inextricably woven into one's life.
Loved the character Manolo!
Some elements of the story feel slightly unresolved, but in that way it feels true to life.
Thanks to NetGalley and First Second for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!
