A gorgeous art style, fantastic representation, a lovely story showing two teenagers navigating their sexuality.

This did read a little younger than I was anticipating, but I did enjoy the story. The art style matched the overall 'vibe' of the story.

Thank you NetGalley for the arc!

Had to return this to the library and it wasn’t holding my attention currently. I plan get back to it at some point.

Okay, this was sweet. It was different from what I was expecting and the reveals throughout were surprising and well crafted. Equal parts uplifting and sad, this stories flits between multiple timelines in the relationship of the two main characters. From their friendship as children, through their high school journey, it explores what family, expectations, societal norms, and gender preference and expression can look like. This story is incredibly diverse and takes a great deal of care with it's representation and clarity through the eyes of many characters without being harmful or uncomfortable even when the characters are suffering. It's a good story in and of itself but it also says something important about coming of age and growing up and out of the past complexly. Overall I recommend this to really anyone, but especially those who have grown apart from friends, or who're struggling to find themselves in a world that wants to put people in boxes and explain away their differences.
