In summary, it's too simple to be such a shared story. There's nothing unique or moving in this story that separates it not just from other queer stories, but from real life. It was both simpler and sadder than I had expected.

The art style is not something I usually read becausr I prefer manga/manhwa-esque style but I think the art in here has greatly contributed to the atmosphere a d vibes it was trying to execute---melancholic. As for the story, I could totally see this as a film. It was atmospheric, gripping, and just so sad. I felt a little bit icky with the adult/minor relationship though but I guess it's more on personal preference and maybe this should be a topic that should be broached more on. I also really liked Valentine, one of the side characters, and Clementine's friend. The only thing I did not like very much was the pacing of the ending. It felt rushed and could use more time in fleshing out the transition of the narrtive to the present day.

I found the art style a bit too cartoony and rough-around-the-edges, but that's a personal preference that other people may not necessarily agree with. I also thought that the last part of the book
Nevertheless, Maroh does an excellent job of portraying these two women and their relationship. I didn't expect to like this book as much as I did, but it's a very worthwhile read if you're looking for a tragic LGBT character-driven story.
