Three Days in Europe Story by Antony Johnston, Art by Mike Hawthorne

Three Days in Europe Story by Antony Johnston, Art by Mike Hawthorne
Review by Kay, Librarian at Bridgewater Library

“Love in the Fast Lane” is how I would describe this graphic novel. The story involves a couple who are attempting to improve their relationship by planning surprise European vacation trips for each other.  But lack of communication and hasty departures brings about each person traveling to the wrong location.  Both parties - Jack and Jill - end up with one-night stands and in dangerous situations.  There is a happy ending:  the couple up in Paris together, the police catch the bad guys and Jack and Jill are once again a couple.  The graphics are all in black and white and the action is fast and predictable.
