Thanks to Frank and Maverick for the Netgalley ARC, and for sending me a finished copy ✨

A lovely coming-of-age story!! It was so pleasing to see two people bond over a shared interest, it made me nostalgic for high school because I’ve also made friends through mangas. The GN takes time to establish each MC while simultaneously developing their relationship which was great to see blossom.

The drawings are cute, and it was nice to see pages of the manga. I loved how it mirrored Gabby’s relationship and that through discussions with Neesha about their respective interpretations she realised she might not be in a healthy relationship and started implementing boundaries.

This GN tackled many interesting themes like living with a disability, dealing with grief, being a child of divorce, and biphobia. But there were so many that not all of them got explored as deeply as I would’ve liked. However, they’re still important to depict in books, especially in YA. I also thought that a few scenes ended a little abruptly. That said, it was still an enjoyable read!!
