Juliet made me feel seen as a baby gay. I always knew I was attracted to women and men, but it wasn’t until my fiancé and I got together that I was confident even to live and just be myself. I find myself still being concerned that I don’t say the right things or know everything I should as a black queer woman. I’m still learning and loving on myself as I go. Juliet had to go through some things to really find her understanding and find people to really love on her for who she is, and learned some cool historical facts along the way.

This was a great read detailing Juliet’s journey to delving further into her queerness, encountering white feminism and inauthentic allyship, exploring life in a new city, and learning more about herself and what she wants out of a relationship. 

The illustrations were also absolutely stunning.

 The only thing I wish we got was more development of side characters but otherwise I enjoyed this read and would recommend it.

I think that I’m going to love all coming of age/coming out stories about Black and POC characters.

The original version of this book is one of my all-time favorites. When I saw that this graphic novel version existed I was especially pleased. I did feel that some of the plot points were rushed compared to the regular print edition. Still, the illustrations were lovingly done, and I loved falling in love with Juliet’s growth all over again.
