Thank you Net Galley, Mad Cave Studios, Jennie Wood, Dozerdraws, and Micah Meyers for sending me an E-ARC in exchange for an honest review! 🫶

I absolutely loved this one and highly recommend it! It takes place in two different times. The present where the two are at a summer camp. And the past showing how they got there. I thought this was a very interesting way of telling this story and it slowly reveals itself. The ending is a bit bittersweet but still a story I recommend. It has a main theme of friendship and growing up. The illustrations are also gorgeous and the pages are colored different for if its part of the story set in the past vs the present which helps you understand alot! I really enjoyed this one and can’t wait to get a physical copy for my graphic novel collection! 💕

Dylan is non-binary and I interpreted Leighton as aro-ace however I've seen people just describe her as asexual.Â
.
Just to note, in the E-ARC I was provided the illustrations were slightly blurry. At times the text would also be blurry but was normally very clear. I’m sure this formatting will be fixed in the final copy, I just wanted to mention it! 😊
