This reminds me of The Martian by Andy Weir. In this graphic novel the main character travels through time in hope to find a solution for climate change. It first shows us her stop 30 million years into the future. While she’s there, to pass the time she writes a journal log of her adventures. And we see the whole story play out from there.
It was a very entertaining read and the art was wonderful. This book focused on the climate crisis and the grim future we could face. Do I think this book is realistic in terms of how our future will look? Yes and no. I think the idea is right at least. That we’re heading down a gloomy path.

I have absolutely no idea how to review this book. It was the most unhinged random thing I’ve ever read. Which, to be fair is what I think the author was going for. It was a fast and interesting read but overall it just wasn’t for me.

Wow. I read this as a stand alone and it made my heart swoon. I swear I haven’t been this invested in a romance book in so long. The romance felt so real, so genuine. I was rooting for Lila and Reed the whole time.
Not only is this the best romance book ever. It also touched on some heavy mental health topics that I could relate to. While focusing on these topics, we could see the main characters journey growing and healing from their trauma. Them healing from their trauma and them realizing their worth, has helped me with my own issues in a way. This book has taught me a lot about myself and inspired me to start my own healing journey. And for that, I thank the author for writing such a heartfelt and meaningful book.
Now I’m going to read the first two books in the series. This book was so good, I just have to read more.

Absolutely loved the artwork! However the actual storyline wasn’t for me. It was good, don’t get me wrong. I just felt it was a bit cheesy. Although it was very easy to read and understand and I found it to be entertaining.
