Silly and sweet. Bubbly art and characters, but lacks a real logical conclusion

Who doesn't want to read about a boba cat café? I thought this middlegrade graphic novel about a girl spending the summer with her grandmother was really sweet.

I did however sometimes feel like the art style didn't match the story. The main character is almost 14, which is on the older side for middlegrade, and she looks at least several years younger, which felt jarring considering the storyline where she sent private photos to a boy she liked who then posted them online. The boy she befriends during the summer, who's 16 years old, also looks like he's 12 at most. I did think the art work was otherwise really cute, but this felt very jarring at times.

I also felt like the writing was very choppy. It didn't feel cohesive and didn't flow smoothly, which took me out of the story at times.

Magical realism! Boba tea cats and a mysterious monster lurking beneath San Francisco.
