Gr 4–7—New friendships and photography help Manuel cope with post-traumatic stress disorder and panic attacks
after witnessing gun violence at school. Evocative artwork uses stark color changes and panel bleeds to convey

This is a historical romance told in graphic novel form. It was mildly diverting (I do love me a marriage of convenience trope!), but there wasn't much to it, and I found the art work pretty lame. I am not much of a GN reader (though I did enjoy GN adaptations of Animal Farm and Heart of Darkness) so YMMV.

I liked the clean, cozy-colored art. It had a very comforting feel.
Other reviewers have stated that the pacing is slow and they are not wrong. However, I thought it worked well for the story.

Content: some panels showed a lot of skin (easy to flip a couple pages to skip it since it is obvious what is coming)
