Genetics at Heart by Philippe Amouyel and Héloise Chochois explores the good, the bad, and the ugly of genetics and its related studies. As a bio student and a bit of a science nerd, I loved how this graphic novel explained the concept of genetics in simple terms and by using real-life scenarios where it's used, such as in crime investigation and in identifying genes that give off inherited diseases to certain people. The art style used in the graphic novel while portraying the main storyline is simplistic yet pretty neat, and the story ended in such a cute and sweet moment between the father and his daughter who got upset over a genetic test she took.
This is a great book for people interested in the scientific aspects of DNA testing. It also explored the moral and ethical dilemmas associated with companies offering at-home genetic testing.
