This volume of my favourite ongoing comic began with an accurate (I checked with my daughter who recently went through the very same thing) depiction of a distracted graduate student (Esther) attempting to complete her dissertation. She goes home to try and accomplish this task, and ends up distracted with "you can never go home again" adulting-type sentiments. She eventually ends up in London, trying for a totally inappropriate job, and ending up with a totally different one (which is pure Esther). We also get a detailed description of a cricket match with a team of misfits assembled to help McGraw out of a food-poisoning-induced jam, which includes Daisy lusting over the other team's circle chucker (best description of a pitcher ever). I still have no idea how to understand cricket. Then, Susan tries to help McGraw overcome the grief of a sudden loss, and finds both him and herself totally ill-equipped for the task. I love these girls, and I'm thrilled to see them moving away from school and into life, but keeping all the best parts of themselves. This continues to be an awesomely conceived, written, and delivered comix. Mostly light fun this time around, but there was one very sad storyline. The funniest part was Susan’s explanation of cricket, which probably would have been even funnier to me if I knew anything about cricket. As the gang ventures further into their adult lives, I hope Allison continues to write the series. I could hang out with this group of pals for many more volumes. Esther grapples to write her English dissertation and also figure out what she's doing after uni. McGraw's cricket team needs to recruit a bunch of players on short notice before the pub cup match. He and Susan struggle to communicate after he loses someone close to him. Esther goes on a job interview in London and figures out her first steps after school ends. Fun as always and it managed to explain cricket in a way that I mostly understood! There's sweetness and pathos here and as always I loved it. Top form for the series as we have humorous bits with writer's block and a game of cricket and heavier topics like grief and life after the bubble of college. The middle chapters are best, with the core gang hanging out together. The first and last chapters are still fun, with Esther having team-up adventures with characters from writer John Allison's other series: Charlotte "Lottie" Grote of Bad Machinery and Shelley Endeavour Winters of Scary Go Round. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
