HEAVENLY DAYS by Em Frank

Description

Annie and Elise meet at a coffee shop in a part of town they are watching change for the worst. Despite the fact that Annie is leaving for Vietnam in a week, they decide to honor their instant connection for what it is: a little unhinged, possibly doomed but full of a weirdly familiar and addictive beauty they can’t quite put their fingers on.

A mix between Ghost World, Normal People and Linklater’s The Before Trilogy, Heavenly Days is a deeply emotional trans love story about how some love can feel so life-affirming yet seemingly so hard to live through.

Funny, and heartbreaking, Heavenly Days is a book that demands to not be read so much as felt.

“In the queer romance ‘Heavenly Days’, a couple meet in a coffee shop and find they only have a few weeks to be together. The DIY-feel of this indie comic complements the quirky, ephemeral, and almost otherworldly romance.” –Publishers Weekly

Praise for Em’s previous book, I Never Found You:

“Highly enjoyable! From what I’ve learned this year, people are interested in crime and bird watching. They love em both. Fun for many.” – Sally Madden, Thick Lines Podcast, The Comics Journal Best of 2023
