I saw the Netflix show first and am happy to finally be reading the graphic novels. It is wonderful! Lots of realism, depth of feeling, addressing serious issues, but also having so much love, sweetness, and heart. I look forward to reading all of Alice’s work!

Read this all in one night and absolutely loved it! <3 it’s one of my biggest comfort books for sure and has been for almost three years! It’s such a special experience to be able to read this as a queer teenager who has gone through similar experiences. I really grew up with the characters and I’m so grateful to have such adorable, funny, emotional representation with characters like me and that are my age T-T These kinds of books mean the world to me and other queer kids and I’m so glad we get to have this <3
