This just did not land for me. I think it was meant to show the struggle of transitioning from middle school to high school while trying to maintain a romantic relationship, but...I'm not sure. It also shows the consequence of new love, and being so obsessed with your significant other, you ignore all of your friendships. It's pretty cliche, many other teen stories have done this exact concept before. The dream section of this graphic novel took up a little over half of the entire novel. The dream sequence was sort of cool, but it didn't make much sense. Yes, I know dreams in general aren't supposed to make a lot of sense, but this honestly made the story more confusing for no real reason. I don't know, this just felt bland to me. The art style was okay, it looked a bit amateurish but honestly, that did add some charm to it. I think with a little bit of plot revision the story could be made better.


Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
