3.0

Cute concept, but not really my thing. The story read very simply and didn't really draw me in. Also the focus on medicalized delivery was unfortunate.

I finished this last night SOBBING. This was such a beautiful sapphic love story. I will settle for nothing less than the love Mari and Elle share. I also loved that the focus was on older love, something I don’t see much in my reading! Plus positive therapy rep, YAY. 

NB: The biphobia in the content warnings is actually panphobia but there is not an option for this.

SO PURE, SO GOOD, SO SOB! I sat down in my branch's graphic novel section, determined to find a graphic novel or manga written by a Black woman (which, why is this so hard??). This was the only one I could find, so I settled in to read it. Generally, graphic novels don't take me long at all to read, but my legs were fully asleep by the time I got through this one. I had to take my time over each panel. It was absolutely gorgeous, from the artwork, to the twist at the end, to the family dynamics!! Mari and Hazel are my OTP. Such a sweet, age positive, body positive, alternative family structure positive, JUST POSITIVE graphic novel.
