The Main character Boo gives like she schizophrenic. The randomness of her getting magically transformed into different outfits or seeing the teacher and students as monsters. Mimi is cute though. I like how she reads boo’s body language and can tell her slight triggers that come with the topic of her mom. I want to see where that goes. Boo and Her mom.

I didn't realize what I was getting into when reading this book.
The synopsis on the back of the book didn't prepare for half of the book at all. The synopsis talks about Boo having a vivid imagination and liking a girl and briefly mentions having a complicated home life but doesn't go into that any further.
This book is dark.
Yes, it has themes of romance in it but it also has themes of verbal abuse and triggering content which I will put into the content warnings on TheStoryGraph to warn others.
On a bright note, I do really love the overall illustrations and art style and the story is good too. I just wish it had a content warning at the start of the book to warn others. This book originally was on Tapas which has web comics and novels, this book was a comic. From what it looks like, there are no content warnings on Tapas either which is a bit strange to me. I also find it strange how the book cover looks very cute and playful and that feels kind of deceiving in a way.
Just to clarify, I liked this book and I am totally not hating on this book. I would totally read the second book when it's out (unless it's out now??)
For example, I enjoyed that the romance isn't rushed. A lot of the time it is and to see a healthy relationship grow is nice. The amount of times I see romance bloom not even halfway into the book and it feels very unrealistic and rushed.
Just be aware this book is dark and if you have any triggers I would recommend looking at the content warnings in this book.

Teenager Boo Meadows has pink hair and a very vivid imagination -- she has trouble separating from the real world. In her daydreams, she dances beautifully at balls or fights monsters as a magical girl. In reality, she has a complicated home life, work stress, school stress, and a wicked crush on the girl of her dreams. When a new student, Mimi, arrives at school, Boo starts exploring a side of herself that she never considered before. As she grows closer to Mimi, it may finally be time for Boo to face reality . . . Who is the real Mimi? The one in her dreams? Or the one in real life?
I liked this book, the art style was bright and expressive. I liked Boo and her vivid imagination, I liked seeing the beginning of interesting plot points such as Boo's homelife. I also liked Mimi and wanted to know more about her home life, especially with her mother.
At some points, I was confused about Boo's age as she was in high school and had a job but she seemed a bit childlike but it kinda made sense given her home life. I wish this book were longer because the ending was just so abrupt.
All in all, I would recommend this book to young adults who like romance with fantasy elements and well as a beautiful and relatable storyline. Also if you liked Heartstopper or If You'll Have Me you'll probably like this one or vice versa.

This is the first comics I've read, and I absolutely adored it. It could definitely be read in one sitting. The way it is designed, the way the emotions are interpreted into the art, and the way the heavy subjects are addressed in such a magical way were so unique.
