It was a good book. I want to learn more about the world and see what happens next to the characters! The art style isn't my favorite, but I still thought it was pretty.

The hype of this book was so worth it.  The art was stunning, the plot was entertaining, and the characters were lovable.  I absolutely adored this book, it gave great autumn vibes.  It was so cozy and wholesome but also intense and suspenseful at parts.  10/10 will definitely read again.

It was an enjoyable story, cute with some darker moments. I definitely enjoyed it, but I wasn't as emotionally invested as a few other graphic novels I've read this year.

Loved the Deaf representation! It was part of the character's experience but not their defining characteristic. 

This was such a warm story, written with heart and beautifully drawn. The main romance was sweet and healthy. I think the grandmothers were my favorite part, I want to be that kind of wholesome-but-feisty when I'm their age. 

I'd have given this five stars except for some cliches, but they were all in good fun. I loved the experience and would definitely recommend it for YA readers who want to see Queer, Nonbinary, and/or Deaf representation!
