Molto carino, anche se mi sarebbe piaciuto che venisse approfondito di più il rapporto tra Deja e Josiah.
Ma è un bel racconto sull'amicizia, sui sentimenti, con la malinconia del tempo che passa.
Divertente in alcuni punti (Buck personaggio preferito XD ), e mi sento un po' affine a Josiah nel suo essere squadrato su certi pensieri, metodico, non riuscire a uscire fuori dalle sue forme mentali.
Deja è fin troppo splendente, ma creano una giusta contrapposizione che finisce per funzionare.
I disegni mi sono piaciuti tantissimo e anche l'ambientazione (mi piacerebbe leggere più storie ambientate in quel posto, sarebbe divertente XD tipo, che faccia ha Todd Testadizucca??? XD ).
Un po' troppo repentina - quasi infantile - la presa di coscienza di Josiah alla fine, sembra quasi che gli si sia switchato un interruttore nella testa e lo abbia svegliato XD

I saw someone recommend this graphic novel on YouTube, so I had to read it!

This was a really sweet, lighthearted read. I loved the illustrations and the characters too. The ending was a little rushed but other than that it was such an enjoyable read. 

I love how at the end in the interview the author refers to the pumpkin patch in the book as “the disneyland of pumpkin patches”. I thought that was the perfect description of it because I adored all the fun attractions it had! I wish I could visit for real or work there lol. Okay maybe not work there because it was a bit chaotic that night at the patch. 😁

This book lifted my spirits after reading a depressing book, so I definitely recommend reading it if you’re looking for a book that will make you smile and have a good time all around.

"Deja. I don't want October to be over. Because October means you."

This was so cute and fun! I really enjoyed the artwork, especially because of how Autumn is my favorite season, where I live I don't have the opportunity to experience the change of seasons, and everything in this graphic novel was oozing with Autumnal wonder (I actually really want to go to this pumpkin patch, it looks like so much fun!). The characters were really well done, and very likable, which is quite the feat for something so short (209 pages is nothing when it's mostly pictures lolol).
SpoilerI was so extremely happy when they kissed at the end that I just grinned and giggled like a school girl XD.

I think this is a really cute fall graphic novel that gets you in the fall mood. I loved the messages of friendship. I think I was just too old for it.

This is super adorable and there is nothing inappropriate in it so I told my 8 year old daughter she can read it. She loves Graphic Novels. Now I want to read more Rainbow Rowell Graphic Novels. I love that Deja is a little on the fluffier side. I didn't realize how much characters are made to look the same size in books a lot as well. All body types are beautiful. ❤

This graphic novel was so heartwarming! I loved the two main characters and thought they had a beautiful friendship. Not only was it slightly sad, there were moments that I found hilarious. I loved the story and thought the illustrations were gorgeous. This is the perfect read for this time of year!
