I am so thoroughly sweetened by the romance in here- it's fluffy, nerdy, and involves real, actual friendship at the core of the relationship. Plus, lesbians going on an adorable renaissance festival date?? Sign me tf up for more of this. My only real gripe is that the ending happened superrrr fast, and I think the story would have felt more real/satisfying to have those final few scenes fleshed out a few more pages. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoyed books like "Heartstopper" or "Giant Days". Cute YA Graphic Novel about navigating the waters of senior year, lost friendship and just finding your way. This was a different kind of YA trope, rediscovering your childhood best friend who was hiding in plain sight all along while trying to fit in with your family/friends expectations of you. This GN hits all the teen angst without getting too cheesy or stereotypical. I wonder if the illustrations will all stay pink or will there be additional colors added when the final book comes out. This is one for MS/HS libraries. Thanks NetGalley for the ARC. no reviews | add a review

There's only one teensy little problem: Regina is already dating Chloe Kitagawa, athletic all-star ... and middling English student. Regina sees a perfectly self-serving opportunity here, and asks the smitten Hawkins to tutor Chloe free of charge, knowing Hawkins will do anything to get closer to her"-- No library descriptions found. |
