This book was beautifully drawn with an amazing message. I wouldn’t have thought I could be that moved by a book so tiny, but that was me being small-minded, because this book is perfect in its simplicity.

This was beautifully done and powerful - don't be misled by its small size. Really moving and thought-provoking. Keep an eye out for the tense shifts, they're subtle but feel really important to the world(s) she's spinning. I think I probably should have read "I love this part" first, but even as a stand alone work this is really lovely and genuinely touching. I would have given it 5 stars but there are a few lines that feel a bit young, which wouldn't be a big deal if this was longer, but with a shorter work every line counts more.. but still, definitely recommend, it's a wonderfully quick read that'll stick around in your mind for a while.

(Also, queer artists are the best!)
