Reviews with content warning for Death of parent - Mooncakes

Am I becoming a graphic novel girlie? There is a high chance.

I absolutely loved this! It was super cute, I loved the couple and how the conflict didn’t revolve around their relationship.

I loved the hard of hearing and non-binary representation, and the little notes in the back of the book that explained how the hearing aids worked with the lore - I would love to hear more about this, it was really intriguing.

The art style was wonderful, and I loved the use of the page colour to help portray the vibe of the scene and the time of day. The (dad) jokes and puns were also hilarious.

Overall, a really fun read and I would love to see more of the authors were willing to write more.

A very sweet, quick read with wonderful illustrations! I really like Tam and Nova as characters and the Nanas are just so funny and caring. Also, Tat is a great friend (and I wish we got more of her). I love the representation and diversity- with sapphic relationships, Tam being nonbinary, and Nova being HOH.

There were some "pacing" issues and I do wish we got to see more of Nova and Tam's budding friendship as kids, as their relationship felt a little bit insta-love at times. And I would have loved to get a little bit more world-building in terms of witch magic vs. wolf magic and the magical world outside of the human world. Also... I NEED TO KNOW TERRY'S STORY!

Overall, a very fun read, especially for someone who hasn't read many graphic novels!
