Yay! I loved this graphic novel ♥️ Reminded me of my own journey through feminism, many familiar things scenes, theories and moments during my foray into feminism, academic and beyond. I really appreciated how Juliet is so honest with her feelings and doesn’t try to hide when she’s sad or passionate. I feel like I needed to see that represented right now. Juliet has the courage I wish I had when I was her age and her growth journey was everything. Also, the art and colour palette were just stunning 🤩
