A very sweet coming-of-age story. The art and colours are stunning. There was just a disconnect for me between some of the very heavy themes, the pacing, and the comical villain. Overall I would love for this to have been longer for more in-depth relationship-building, and for the heavier themes to have been addressed more deeply. I think youth are more likely to enjoy the pacing and plot payoffs. Otherwise, it is a sweet read for an afternoon, and despite my less-than-stellar review, I am curious enough to read the next installment.

I liked the colors and the ending. However, there were some gaps in the story timeline, and the illustrations weren’t really my style. I hope the rest of the series works out for Wendell and Marjorie!

Mr Saubertuck is very creepy towards the 13-year-old main character, namely

breaking into her house, harassing her, and calling her pet names

This was a sweet story with lovely art. I wasn't expecting it to be quite so sad. It's a much more depressing story than I thought it would be based on the cover. I didn't love all of the plot points, but it was still good and the last page got me all misty.
