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 🤩

This was fantastic. It carries such a strong message on white feminism and womanism (which I had to Google, I had no idea!) and queer identities and intersectional identities and finding true community. Very powerful and with so much food for thought for 'just' a YA novel. I loved all the characters and what they beough to the story by bringing up some very complex issues with sometimes just one sentence or question. I try to educate myself well but just this graphic novel showed me I have a lot to learn about still.
Also we love happy sapphics and this story is full of them.
I guess my only gripe is that I'm not sure it fully works as a graphic novel adaptation. I'm not the biggest fans of graphic novels to start with, but I felt in this one like I missed context or like I skipped panels when I didn't. But that's just me I guess.
I am very much going to buy the novel itself right now. I need to read this again in its original form and love it more!

I think that I’m going to love all coming of age/coming out stories about Black and POC characters.

A beautiful coming of age story about Juliet a young lesbian who wants to find who she is. This story follows her during the summer where she discovers the POC queer community, herself and love. I really really liked it
