Since it isn't an option in the drop down, I'll mention here that there is some moderate misgendering that occurs though it's brief.micaelacccc's review against another edition

There were a few too many open ends for me. Maybe there was a potential sequel? I would love to read more of these characters and this world. Still loved it! Will definitely be returning to it in the future.

Because of the shifting timelines and focus it always took me a minute to figure out what was going on, I think it took me until the last half of the book to finally find my footing. I didn't mind this because the art was so engaging to look at.
I really enjoyed the romance and all the science fiction aspects, I just had trouble understanding the story and keeping up with the plot. There were a few character motivations that felt inconsistent to me as well, and I still don't fully understand everything about the staircase.
I think it's kind of odd that this is being advertised as a second chance romance, because the characters meet again right at the end of the book and that is that. I think for a true second chance it would need more time and build up for the characters. I didn't even know that they were together in the past until the middle of the book, and wasn't aware of Mia's motivations until the very end.
I recommend this if you like Tillie Walden's other works, or if you are looking for a queer science fiction graphic novel to read.
Moderate: Homophobia, Bullying, and Injury/Injury detail
