This is cute enough. A typical high school story, with the New Girl &trademark; and the Mean Girl &trademark;, and the Cute Boy&trademark;.
The only thing different is three odd talking primates, that hang out with Kirby.
The primates are silly, and Go-Go is my favorite, but that isnt' enough to make this book special. If you like middle-school romance, with monkeys, this could be the book for you. Otherwise, it is a skip.

Cute but forgettable. I only really liked the gorilla.

Definitely geared toward younger audiences who will go bananas over the monkey-related humor (no puns included). (e-galley from NetGalley)

*I received an ARC from Oni Press at ALA, but I also received a DRC off of netgalley. This does not affect my review.*
[2.5 stars]
I asked Oni Press for queer comics and they gave me this. It is not queer.
But anyway, that aside, this was just okay. There were definitely some cute moments, I especially liked Go Go. But there was instalove, and i seriously hate when there's a mean girl for literally no reason. Plus it's kind of creepy to see a monkey constantly hitting on human girls. But maybe that's just me.

Charming little book for young adults, I guess. A bit heavy handed on the personality stereotypes. I don't believe some blond girl could really get away with stomping somebody for long. I picked it up because I respect Oni books. That's all. I don't actually like monkeys that much. Or teenagers. Or high school drama. Or bananas.
Wow.
Considering all that, I guess it was pretty good after all.

Why can't every Sunday be Banana Sunday? A charming little read. Go-Go the Gorilla speaks for the man/ape/child in all of us.

A fun and light comic. A bit outdated - but Go-Go is the cutest character

Early Paul Tobin - pretty cute, but not quite up to the standards of his more recent work. It's still a lot of fun, though.

I lost my mind when I seen this on NetGalley because I am a HUGE fan of Paul Tobin's graphic novel series called Bandette. However, I am sad to say that I was a little disappointed in this one. The characters were likable enough, and the monkeys were cute, but I just didnt fall in love with the story the way I did with Bandette. I will say that the artwork was stellar as always, but I'll have to give this one a pass, as the story just did not excite me in the least.
A huge thank you to NetGalley for sending me a digital copy of these book previews in exchange for an honest review.
