A beautiful coming of age story about Juliet a young lesbian who wants to find who she is. This story follows her during the summer where she discovers the POC queer community, herself and love. I really really liked it

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.

I don’t really read graphic novels often, and I didn’t read the novel version, but I really enjoyed this. The art was interesting, and the story was good. Most of the things I didn’t like about this story were actually just things I don’t love about graphic novels, so I can’t really fault it for that. Overall it was really good!
