Thank you to Mad Cave Studios/Maverick over at Netgalley for providing me with an early copy in exchange for an honest review!
A friendship that has been a bit wobbly hit rough waters that leads them to go to a summer camp, where neither of them want to be in. Holding on to a thread that is their friendship, we get flashbacks and see what lead them to be where they are today.
The talks about being Ace and also Non-binary was explained in the best way to where anyone would be able to understand and jumpstart their research on both.
While the art was very beautiful and the ending made my heart hurt a bit, it wasn't my favorite thing to read. It was entertaining and a quick read, I also know that this graphic novel could help young adults going through similar situations, whether it be sexuality, gender, being bullied or experiencing anti-Blackness/parental trauma from their childhood.
This comes out in May and I think it's the perfect time to read it, especially outside while the mosquitos are buzzing, the sun in beaming and all you smell is sunscreen.
