Reviews with content warning for Bullying - Snapdragon

I wanted to read this book for a while and usually when that happens, a book is just dissapointing, but this one wasn't. I really loved it and will definitely be rereading it. It is a fast read and it just feels good to read it. Lots of positive LGBTQ+ representation too.

Reading notes:

Snap thanking the witch is every employees dream.

The way the witch changed her experession when hearing that Snap is named after her mum's favourite flower.

Snap's mum standing up for her in the book store.

The sightings of the one-eyed Tom look like they are kinda in E. Carrol's style, where the background is black and white and the creature is very vibrant. It looks so good.

Snap and Lulu just being nice to each other and talking about their interests with each other.

Snap's mum being nice to Lulu in just a casual way.

Am lowkey heartbroken because of the reason that Jacks does not want kids.

The love story between Jacks and Jessamine.

This month I've been reading a lotttt of sapphic comics to recommend and highlight them on my page. This one was lower on my list, I had heard great things but when I sat down to read it, I really knew nothing about it. This story follows Snap, a young girl who doesn't fit in anywhere. She has her mom who raises her on her own and her dog. But when the neighborhood "witch" may finds her dog and takes him in, Snap must go rescue him. She makes a completely unexpected friendship with this lady and finds out some old history that ties her family story to this supposed witch. There are magical elements, there are endearing trans characters exploring identity for the first time, there is a sapphic story in the past brough into the present, and there's Snap, my fav protagonist I've met this month. Definitely give this comic a shot! It's a 5 star read for me.

I absolutely loveddd this!!! I’m 100% adding this to my graphic novel collection when I get the chance cause holy shit this was everything I look for in a graphic novel
It had beautiful art, diverse characters, great character arcs, loveable characters, cute animals, a super queer world and cast AND with older queer characters (which Omg that side plot made me tear up), super solid story and was long enough to flesh out not just the main characters story but also several side characters stories
I desperatelyyyy want a sequel to this and just ugh loved literally everything about this
