( ) i don't know anything about the cats, but i know i liked this one, and the other bits of his stuff i've seen around in collections and whatnot. it's for girls who like boys, boys who like girls, boys who like boys, girls who like girls, boys who like cats, girls who like t-shirts, and everybody else. Despite a few glaring editorial mishaps - in one instance using the wrong to/too form - I enjoyed Unlikely. The illustrations sell the emotions the characters go through in what plays out as a typical romance gone sour. All the ingredients of your everyday failed relationship - the whirlwind beginning - the descent into the mundane and repetitive - the pushback - and the breakaway. Perfect medicine for the bitter and brokenhearted. [...] Brown's aesthetic is unsettling to me; it is pointedly sketchy, like a teenager's tortured, shy doodlings. But the character he draws for himself evokes a wincing sympathy, and almost everyone will recognize the delicate, detailed realism with which he outlines the progress of love.
