Very cute. Very lighthearted. Perfect for young teens its all about coming out and learning to be yourself and the art style is adorable
Its a bit simplistic and I kind of wanted it to be a series or a longer book because problems were brought up and resolved too quickly. It had potential to be better and Id love to see an adaptation but cant say Id read it again.

No sé siento que todo está contado a medias y que nada verdaderamente cierra. Tampoco llego a conocer a profundidad a las protas entonces... sí, está cute y se lee rápido pero no lo voy a recordar en cinco minutos

A beautifully crafted graphic novel that intertwines themes of identity, friendship, and the enchantment of the sea.

The artwork is stunning, capturing the essence of coastal life and the wonder of the ocean. Ostertag's illustrations breathe life into the characters and settings, making each page a visual delight that enhances the emotional depth of the story.

While the story concludes in a satisfying manner, I have a lingering desire for more. The potential for Morgan and Keltie to meet again after seven years is tantalizing, hinting at untold adventures and further exploration of their relationship.

Molly Knox Ostertag has crafted a gem of a graphic novel that deserves its place on any bookshelf.
