I honestly didn’t expect to love this book as much as I did. I've been seeing it around quite a bit, both online and in stores, and have heard nothing but good things about it. The cover intrigued me, and the premise sounded promising even though it isn't quite like what I normally read. I decided to finally give it a shot and it ended up being such a spectacular read. Here's why.

The artwork was beautiful. Obviously we know not to judge a book by its cover, but when it comes to a graphic novel, you kind of expect the cover and the book's insides to match, which doesn't always happen. Fortunately, this book didn't mislead me at all. I loved what was on the cover, and I loved the art and the attention to detail on the inside too.

This is very much a coming of age story with an emphasis on acceptance and identity. I loved how each of the themes present in the novel were written. I won't get into what all of those were or how it was done, but I really appreciated the care and attention that went into each and every one. The book kept a steady pace, allowing us to explore all these aspects with enough time to fully flesh them out, explore their significance, and come up with solutions.

The characters were also lovely. Morgan felt relatable, and I'm not even 15. More than 10 years past that, actually. I'm sure there are many teenage girls that will find comfort and solace in Morgan's story and her relatability. Keltie was also wonderful. At first, I wasn’t so sure of her. She's very naive and very unaware of the world around her. She can be reckless and a bit impulsive. But she grew on me quickly, and I think her heart is always in the right place. Both girls make mistakes and have to learn from them, and they do so in a way that I felt contributed to the story and held meaning.

It's a very sweet story, really. Even with the serious themes that it tackles. I'd recommend this to anyone, even if they were outside of the targeted age group.
