PG and Momo are now my comfort characters - I love these honeys so dang much. I will be buying a physical copy so I can re-read whenever I want, because the amount of times I giggled, kicked my feet into the air, and blushed was ridiculous.
The illustrations were gorgeous, the color palette was so pretty, and the narrative took its time, yet flew by?! I am absolutely obsessed with this opposites attract college romance. PG struggled with everyone perceiving her as "just here for a good time," while Momo struggled with everyone perceiving her as "inexperienced" and just a secondary character in everyone else's lives. They find their way to each other, miscommunicate, make assumptions based on both their insecurities and external factors (seemingly well-meaning friends who are like, "Uh, are you *sure* she is into you? Don't be silly.") I loved how authentic this was with the awkward moments, the anxious nature of getting to know someone new, and trusting your heart.

It’s a very lighthearted, fluffy romance. I think that being queer being normal is such a great detail. The art style is amazing. Its like Heartstopper but if it was set in college and was sapphic.

Oh my god, this was adorable. Not only was the artwork absolutely stunning (and a little bit manga influenced), but the characters were great, the writing was well done, and everything just worked so well together. PG and Momo's friends turned relationship story is adorable from beginning to end.
Also, they go to a cat cafe as one of their kind of dates towards the beginning. What isn't to like about a graphic novel that includes going to a cat cafe??
If you want something that has Heartstopper vibes but is sapphic instead, definitely pick this one up.

It was a sweet lesbian story! Only a couple of their actions were upsetting, other than that; a great and diverse love story.

This was so sweet and fluffy. It literally read like a modern-day AU get-together fluff fic of your fave characters. If you’re looking for that vibe, pick this book up!
PJ and Momo had a great dynamic. Individually they were compelling characters; we are shown who they are and what they like instead of told (as you might expect in a graphic novel), so that they come across as multi-faceted. Because they are written like real people, their connection feels real too. There’s a lot of playfulness, which is sweet, but they also act as a solid, grounding force in one another’s lives. You can see the fondness they have for each other and why they feel this way.
PJ and Momo’s character development is tied up in each other and their romance, as the two learn how to communicate with one another and navigate their insecurities together. What I liked about the third act breakup was that they were BOTH in the wrong - they both had stuff to figure out about themselves and the other and learn.
The art style was GORGEOUS, that and the colour palette were a complete match for the sweetness of the story. Eunnie managed to keep the backgrounds clean without them becoming devoid of detail with that liminal-space vibe.
I wish we had gotten more of PG’s POV! But aside from that, and my disclaimer below, I don’t really have any critiques. The reason why the rating isn’t higher is because I didn’t feel as swept away by the story as I wanted to be.
Disclaimer: the ethnicity rep here isn’t own voices. I’m not sure of the significance of that seeing that Eunnie is of the global majority like her characters, it’s just something I wanted to flag.
