A bit disappointed by this one. Wish the story was a bit longer. Unfortunately it was a bit forgettable.

I’ve never read a memoir graphic novel, and I’m glad this was my first. I enjoyed Eleanor’s story and art, and I think it is a fantastic book for teen readers.

SUCH a wonderful read. Once again loved the art style so much, and the way Crewes unfurls her narrative felt special.

I am so glad that I am living in a time when so many wonderful queer authors are writing/drawing graphic memoirs. This one is particularly extraordinary. I highly recommend this to straight people who are curious about the gay experience.

To me, reading this book felt a lot like reading a poetry collection; I couldn't read too fast or I'd miss something important. I related to Crewes a lot while reading it. I feel that many white queer western women may relate because of the heteronormative cultures that we're brought up in that help us internalize so much nonsense. It was also nice to read a coming out story that wasn't entirely linear. Crewes talks about coming out multiple times and how long it took her to finally accept that she was gay. This is a fantastic Pride Month read.

This graphic memoir was such a wonderful read. I don't know what to say, other than that there were so many situations and thoughts in this that I recognized in one way or another as things I too have experienced. I don't usually get teary eyed when reading, but wow. This is an excellent exception to that.

my review reflects only my personal reading experience (how i felt while reading; how easy or hard it was to get through; whether or not i was in the right headspace for it; etc.) of this book and not necessarily the content
