If you thought the first volume was outlandish, this one was downright ludicrous, but honestly I was on board with it. In fact, it was exactly the plot’s loopiness that was so engaging to me. The fact that it was well-paced and -structured only helped matters. 

I liked that the story was focussed on the friendship between Goldie and Cheryl. Not only was it sweet to see friendship foregrounded like this, but it also provided an avenue for some meaningful character development in Goldie. She builds her empathy skills and learns about her tendency to centre herself. 

In terms of negatives, I agree with other reviewers that the art seemed a bit rushed. I am also still not feeling the romance chemistry-wise.

Goldie is such a strong, smart character. I love how she is learning and growing in relationships while also taking charge in solving mysteries.
