The art was creative and varied a bunch from part to part. It took me a bit to analyze since parts seemed a little random and disjointed to me. Some of the meanings when looked at as a whole are pretty subtle about relationships and being an adult.

The title piece reveals the book is mostly about relationships as big balls of ice cream, in different flavors then you add things (like nuts, sprinkles, mixed flavors, experiences of various kinds) and it gets complicated. Talk happens throughout with little said, just snippets of talk: "What" "I haven't said anything." "You better not."

In this autobiographical tale in seventeen short tableaux, Conxita Herrero shakes up preconceived ideas about the transition to adulthood. A former student of Fine Arts, she draws her every adventure, from her apartment that she shares with a girl who’s her mirror image, her household, her computer, her dreams to elsewhere, her escapes to the beach, her telephone conversations with friends, to her more or less happy dates.
