Very sweet, insta-love story between a gentle giant football playing farm boy and his new small artist neighbor who has DID. The artwork is so beautiful! The plot centers around young romance and small town bigotry.

Super cute! Murry was the ultimate cinnamon roll and Jacob ended up being so sweet! I especially loved the cat, Cindy. She was honestly the most realistically depicted cat I’ve ever seen in a graphic novel.

I didn't expect accurate DID representation when I picked this up! It warms the heck out of my heart to get to see myself in a character like that. The romance was also cozy and warm, like clothes fresh from the dryer. I read the whole thing in one sitting; very nice start to my day. <3

Cuckoos Three is a charming story by Cassandra Jean and Mosskat that focuses on the interpersonal relationship between Murry Summerfield and Jacob Durris, two neighbors out in the countryside. Presented in rich, full color pages with warm tones, a unique style, and expressive detail, Cuckoos Three feels both comfortable and cozy, as well as tense.
Right from the beginning of their friendship, Murry and Jacob have a friendly relationship with some back and forth banter that reinforces the playfulness between them as characters. Early in, Jacob has the inner comment that Murry is like a labrador, and that's fitting in that Jacob is very much like a mischievous cat. They slot together easily as friends.
Cuckoos Three tackles an often misunderstood mental illness and the uncertainty that comes with it in a heartfelt and loving way, through embracing that uncertainty and unknown rather than pushing it away. Through every chapter, a warmth is present that easily invites the reader into that warm embrace between the two characters as they grow together and learn more about each other, through good and bad (and the bad is definitely painful).
All in all, Cuckoos Three is a sincere story for every reader to enjoy, even through the tension and the harsher realities of misunderstood identities. It's warm and sweet.

Very cute book! I kinda called the "twist" I guess, but that's just because I was familiar with the symptoms. The homophobia was a bit cliché, but it makes sense for a country town. Was a quick read and the art was super nice. Love the representation as well :D
