"I would 100% recommend if you’re looking for either an lgbtq+ graphic novel, or just a graphic novel in general! "

Niko Albertson

"Rating: 3/5⭐️ This was a light 45 minute read. You learn very little about the characters and you just get *right* straight into the romance, which makes this feel very rushed. Though I think the story overall is super sweet. It's just a very easy read. The kind of novel you would read on something like a long car ride or a lazy Saturday. Also the panels are quite literally g o r g e o u s."

"It was a cute light hearted queer graphic novel, I tend to like more action and I feel like the plot could of been better done but I enjoyed it overall"

"This is such a good book to read in the car! It isn't too short and doesn't have too many words. Perfect story and amazing art."

"Cute, bitter-sweet, mostly sweet ending. Its a quick read, the book is for audience of all age. 3.5/5. For some (very agy and personally biased) reasons, I want a spinoff on Serena JAKSJA"
