This was so cute and sweet! The art style is absolutely adorable, and I loved how inclusive all the characters were and that it was done in such a natural way. I loved the character designs; I am most drawn to Minette and Greta's. The story was a bit simplistic (it moved quite fast because it was so short, and wasn't focused on any particular plot (which is fine) and we didn't get too much of a deep-dive on any one character (we got backstories on the three characters Greta meets, which were all quite emotional and well-portrayed, but there wasn't a in-depth exploration of any individual character)), but still heartwarming, and I will most likely continue and finish the series.

This is another long overdue review. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for letting me have access to an egalley in exchange for an honest review...in like 2017. My bad.
This book is so soft! The colors, the shapes, the story, the Vibes...people throw the word "cozy" around far too much when describing books, but this one is, indeed, so so so cozy. It's unambiguously queer as well, and we do love to see that.


Also: Brick, my beloved.
