This book is heartwarming yet cute.. I love Tam's relationship with Nova... I love their bond. And cannot lie... even a lil bit complicated, this graphic novel is really really lovely and heartwarming and Nova as a deaf representation... ate in this book!

Very suitable for Disability December read!

This was a really sweet read, and I loved both Nova and Tam, as well as all of the side characters. The plot felt a little slow to get into but the world-building and characters made up for it.
