SHE WENT BACK TO THE OLD WORLD TO FIND HER ROOTS, NEVER SUSPECTING THAT SHE WOULD LAY DOWN NEW ONES.
After a messy year of heartbreak and setbacks, Tara sets off to Ireland in search of clues to her family's ancestry, but what she found wasn't at all what she expected. Some of it has to do with the lack of records, but a lot has to do with John, the charming cartoonist she met on Twitter.
Wrapped in real family history and set amidst the natural beauty of the Irish countryside, Roots is a classic romantic-comedy adventure and a page-turning account of a young woman finding herself.

I'm sorry. I care about you, and I don't want to hurt you, but I'm just not in love with you anymore.

I'd never heard of the author before. I occasionally read graphic novels / comic books and I enjoy doing this on kindle. Roots sounded like something a bit different from the stuff I usually read. I had a good time with Roots. It's black and white and I usually read full-colour comic books but black and white worked really well for the story told in Roots, which you can tell from the title is about identity, family and finding where you fit in the world. I enjoyed this aspect of the story. There is a love story as well which was a bit twee for me but still enjoyable. What can I say; I'm a romantic at heart. Love makes my insides melt. I finished Roots very quickly because it's not the same as reading continuous prose and felt quite sad when I finished it. I might check out other books by the author.
