0I received this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This graphic novel was fantastic. The art was stunning and perfectly portrayed the vibe of the story. It was a beautiful story full of emotions and finding yourself. As a queer young person myself, it was emotional to read about. It’s so tough to figure out your identity as well as the whole world of the queer community and I think this book portrayed that really well. I loved all the characters so much as well. It was really heartwarming and encouraging to read about. I’d really recommend this to young queer youth, especially POC youth, who are just starting their journey.
