This was an adorable graphic novel that had me smiling and tearing up the entire way through. The story follows Morgan, a young, closeted lesbian who is saved from drowning by a selkie, and the two of them grow closer throughout the book. 
The art was beautiful, the colours vibrant and bright, and the character design was so unique and adorable. 
The story itself was also amazing, it wove together Morgan's struggle with coming out in a small town and Keltie's struggle to save her home. 
It was honestly one of the cutest sapphic comics I've read and I cannot recommend it enough.
