I wanna rate it higher but I can't because the art and writing was confusing to me. It may just be my vision and the edition i got though :/ my vision is pretty bad. I couldn't understand much because I couldn't really understand the art work and the storyline going back and forth from timeliness was just confusing to me. It was okay. Will reread again when I get glasses.

This is one of the most beautiful books i own. the artwork is so breathtaking. the characters were 3 dimensional and the story was heartwarming. my only qualms are the lack of character exploration for the side characters and the text/font was pretty hard to read at some points. but overall it was a beautiful story with gorgeous artwork to pair.

"I'm not dating the 12% of you that I understand, I'm dating 100% of you. Including all your secrets that I don't know."

I loved the use of colour to differentiate between past, present and different settings, the art style is so simple yet beautiful. The characters were interesting and I liked the found family element. 

If anything, I wish some aspects of the world building and characterisation were a bit more developed. I didn't feel as invested in the characters as I'd hoped and the ending wasn't entirely satisfying. However, the romance and relationships were sweet. 

Overall, a lovely wee feminist, queer, Sci-fi graphic novel.

First Second doesn't format their graphic novel e-books very well, or at least not this one, so that was part of the disconnect.

This was fantastic. Such an artistic and beautiful coming of the age story with a dash of sci-fi, romance and found family. I loved it so much. Mia’s story in the past and present. The characters are all so amazing and loveable.
