This is a queer YA graphic novel and the art style is gorgeous. I liked the stories of both Leighton and Dylan and thought it was great to have a character with an ace identity. There was a good exploration of identity, friendship, hardship and expectations. I liked that both characters were different and flawed, but we got to know and love them. 

I found the timeline of the story and what happened in the past situations a bit confusing. I still enjoyed the story but felt that it could have been sussed out more. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves graphic novels and wants to read more diversely.
