So cute. I loved it. The format is perfect for the story, the characters are great and the plot is so cute and i very much enjoyed it. I gave it 4.5 stars because while i liked it I dont get the sense that I will think about or reread the book. Its cute and all, but I just dont think im ever going to get really attached to a graphic novel.
