Summary:	A loner and introvert, Chris has drifted through her job in the cinema for years, when Dan joins and gradually becomes part of her life. But as they grow closer, she must decide if the solitary life she's built is the one she's actually most suited to after all. "On the South coast of England, in an old art deco picture house, Chris finds a new friend ... then has to decide if she has room in her life for one. A loner and an introvert, Chris has worked in Breakwater Picture House for many years. It's the kind of job that people drift through; friendships flourish for a time, contained within their allotted hours and place ... and then fade when people move on. But when Dan joins, Chris finds someone who breaks out of these designated boundaries and gradually becomes a part of her life. Initially the relationship helps her out of a rut and she finds her world starting to open up. But as she learns more about her new friend, she must decide if the solitary life she's built is the one she's actually most suited to after all. Dealing with issues of mental health, the joys and drawbacks of choosing a casual job over a career path and the burden that comes with letting other peoples' problems into your life, Breakwater is a stunning second graphic novel from the creator of Follow Me In."--Amazon.com

Description
Summary:	A loner and an introvert, Chris has worked in one of Brighton's movie theatres for years. It's the kind of job that people drift through. When a new colleague joins, Chris feels she's found a real friend to spend time with and share things with. But as Chris and Dan become closer, she realises that he's dealing with complicated mental health issues that are playing havoc with his ability to work and take care of himself. As she becomes a bigger and bigger part of his life, and he becomes less stable, she's the only one who's there for him - and the only one who can decide how to help him have a better future. With gorgeous, lush pencil artwork, Breakwater tells the story of a woman abruptly plunged out of her depth, and her struggles to be a good friend when friendship is complicated.
