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.

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.

Thank you Penguin Teen for an ARC in exchange for an honest review
A true and heartfelt look at love, communicating and letting someone see your authentic self.
If You'll Have me is a gorgeously illustrated graphic novel that follows Momo as she navigates a college and a budding friendship with PG, who is known as a player all over campus. But something seems different with PG this time, could things actually be real between her and PG?
I loved the representation of sapphic women of color in this book! There was no big conflict other than what was going on in the love story. Which to me made it truly wonderful. I love seeing more books coming out that are just love regular sapphic love stories. Highly recommend picking this one up when it hits shelves this fall!
