So 3 college students (2 HS friends and one friend from college) travel to NYC for the first time and deal with crush/friendship issues and growing up…Fiona irritated the hell out of me instantly like she just complained and hated everything which I guess meant she was written well lol

Very quick read, I feel like it abruptly ended like strangely not like a cliff hanger. I did love the illustrations/artwork that was done using hues of blue and purple as the main focus.

So fucking beautiful. Graphic novels by the Tamakis just hit so hard.
