The most gorgeous trippy graphic novel I've ever read. So incredibly beautiful (and genderless!!!)

The art is STUNNING. Part of me wonders what the experience would have been like if there was no dialogue whatsoever. At times, it felt like the dialogue took away from the storyline, rather than propelling it forward. Highly recommend checking it out for the visuals!

The art in this book is absolutely gorgeous, and the page layouts are stunning. The story opens with a child, Bloom, and a nonbinary adult, Bee, surviving in a post apocalyptic world. But Bee goes off to help a stranger and then Bloom falls through an Alice-in-Wonderland like rabbit hole into multiple different trippy, strange settings were they are generally much tinier than all the other inhabitants. There's a nice through line about friendship and trusting yourself, but ultimately I found the story too ungrounded and loose to have a deep emotional impact.

The art, oh my god. Lush, dreamlike, visually stunning in every sense of the word. The plot is pretty weak and never really gripped me, but I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants to read something short and sweet.

Wow so beautiful! I love the story and all the colors and shapes. A book to get lost in. Stunning.
