teen/adult graphic novel - recent college drop-out Kit (maybe 18 or 19-y.o.) has 49 days, in the Buddhist tradition, to come to terms with her sudden death before she is to be reincarnated.

this was fairly abstract, and I had to re-read the book jacket description before I could figure out what Kit's journey was all about. But once there I liked how the minimalist palette worked (memories and scenes from the living world were in an orangey tone; Kit's after-death journey was in blues) and the seemingly simple way that the author portrayed both Kit's grief as well as a glimpse of her family's grief. It's a beautiful story that unfolds here (with lots of kimchi) and a love-filled life and dreams cut short. Very well done and recommended. ( )
