Book Summary:

It's the return of Heart and Brain! Okay, not really a return, as they haven't gone anywhere. But it is the latest installment of their graphic novel collection. Onward to Good Things! Contains three different sections, all with a different focus/prompt.

Heart and Brain is a webcomic series, and you've likely seen their comics wandering the web. They're cute, charming, and highly inspirational at times. More importantly, they often help people feel seen, as they portray similar experiences to what we've all been through.

My Review:

As always, I love Heart and Brain. So obviously, I knew I would adore Onward to Good Things! And let me tell you, I was not disappointed. Honestly, in many ways, I feel like this was exactly what I needed to read right now.

Nick Seluk, the mind behind Heart and Brain, does such an excellent job capturing these little moments. They're not quite slice-of-life, but they certainly are relatable. I love that the series has been branching out and including other organs, such as the stomach. So funny!

This comic series is perfect if you need little reminders about the importance of self-care and work-life balance. Or even if you just need a laugh or two. Whatever the reason, please consider picking up Onward to Good Things!

Highlights:
