Great art style with a plot that is building the characters/world ready for further expansion in volumes.

This story was a bit boring, and there are so many questions I have about what is real and what is not, making the story difficult to follow. Boo frustrates me, and I also didn’t get the point of the color scheme shifts, as they seemed to be used for different reasons.

This seems like an excellent start to a series! I love the art style, colors, and Boo's sense of style. There wasn't a lot of character growth, but it is just the first volume. It's setting up an interesting plot, and I'm excited to see what happens next!

major content warning for alcoholic parents. it’s cute but not my cup of tea overall. if i find the rest at a library i’d probably read them but otherwise i probably won’t.

Ooooof. For the cover and synopsis, I did not realize how much this would be about Boo’s maternal relationship. Quite dark. But it’s a sweet story so far. Kinda obvious it was an online comic from the way it was structured and the abrupt ending. But I’d like to see more! 

I did really like Boo. I love how honestly she’s depicted!! She’s fat and has lil stretch marks (loved that detail) and she’s massively cute!!

Expect a glimpse into the beginning of a crush, a ton of daydreaming, mommy issues and heartwarming friendships.

challenging mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Thank you to Scholastic for providing a physical ARC at MPIBA's Fall Conference.

Wow, that was not what I was expecting! Very well done, and I can't stop thinking about it. I keep wanting to go back and read more, but I finished it! Can't wait until the next volume.

While unclear whether it's a romance just yet, this graphic novel is great for teens who have become the adult in their house, the parentified children who take care of their parents more than the other way around. Great for children of parents with addiction as well.

I already know people who will love and appreciate this title, and it's definitely a series I'll be stocking in my store.
