This was cute but there wasn't much too it. I'd recommend it if you're looking for something super quick, easy, and mindless to read, but there wasn't really a plot and I didn't have a strong connection to any of the characters. I think this was a bit too rushed for anything to be developed, which left me with some confusion.

This was a very fun and intriguing graphic novel. I enjoyed the world building of this book and I would LOVE if there were more in the series.

the actually story is pretty bad, and there's literally no worldbuilding, but the concept is cool, and the artwork is PHENOMENAL.

5 stars :)

Blue's canonical fear of bugs is something so personal to me;;;;;

beautiful art and a warm story. the author's note made me tear up a little—it was so lovely.

Loved the art, colours and the effortlessly realistic diversity of race/body types/facial features/sexualities of the characters, but the story felt like a too condensed version of something much bigger. There were some visually stunning moments, but I wanted to spend more time with the characters and see them develop in a more gradual way.
