Crushing cover

Achingly beautiful, subtly defiant and full of wit and quiet wisdom, Crushing is a uniquely beautiful meditation on the human condition in the 21st century, and a timely examination of millennial life in an age of isolation.

She's lonely and searching for connection. He's lonely, but afraid to reach out. But is finding someone else really the answer to their problems? CRUSHING, an illustrated misadventure in love and loneliness, is a story told in silence - a story about connections in the big city - making them, missing them and longing for them. Small but meaningful moments of comfort and connection are celebrated through wordless, dreamlike illustrations, along with the bliss that comes from finally finding someone who truly understands you. Sometimes, words aren't enough.

THIS BOOK IS STUNNING! I loved it! For anyone who has ever been lonely in the city, this book will warm your heart . . . Masterpiece * Holly Bourne *
A beautifully drawn tale of 21st century urban loneliness, told with warmth and humour * Stephen Collins *
A gorgeous graphic novel . . . Exquisitely drawn, full of quirky little details familiar to any urban dweller, and hopeful rather than hopeless, Crushing is a new kind of love story * Red magazine *
