On A Sunbeam by Tillie Walden is a heartwarming graphic novel that tells the story of Mia, a young woman who starts working on a restoration spaceship while still thinking about her first girlfriend from boarding school.

It's my first time reading a science fiction graphic novel, and I was hooked from the start. The plot and concept are fantastic, and I couldn't put the book down. The artwork is stunning, and the storytelling is filled with emotions, exploring themes of love, friendship, identity, and human relationships.

The characters are diverse and well-developed, and the book handles LGBTQ+ representation with care. The blend of science fiction and coming-of-age themes creates a unique and enjoyable reading experience that stays with you.

With its universal themes, diverse representation, and memorable characters, On A Sunbeam has the power to touch readers of all ages. It's a heartwarming and exceptional book that I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone looking for a remarkable reading experience.
