āI adored CRUSHING by @burrowsdraws It is a graphic novel with no words about the search for love in the modern world. Beautiful, funny, touching, original & best of all utterly unique. @burrowsdraws is a genius.ā David

The utterly gorgeous CRUSHING is out today! š„³š„³š„³
A story told in silence. A story about connections in the big city - making them, missing them and longing for them š
An unmissable, exquisitely drawn wordless graphic novel, by the incredibly talented Sophie Burrows! ššš
'An exploration of isolationās silent weight ā the gentle claws that pull you in one direction of hope, towards company or solitude, of comfortable sameness...'
