"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!

What a delightfully cute read!! Definitely one to read during Halloween, but instead of scary it was super adorable!! I love the idea of a Pumpkin Patch Park, not something we'd have in Australia but it sounds awesome!! I'd go there for sure.

I also loved how Deja isn't your stereotypical girly character, and that she's bi-sexual. I loved how she said she didn't fall for people until she spoke to them and then they shimmer. I thought that was a beautiful way of describing someone, and not judging a book by it's cover.

Always a fangirl of Rainbow Rowell ❤️✨

this was cute! i loved the art style and the Fall Vibes. that said, it was pretty predictable and not particularly memorable - fun read for autumn/halloween tho!

It was a cute and funny story. I want Deja to be my personal motivator! She's an absolute riot! Plus, I wouldn't mind going to eat all the delicious goodies that the Harvest Festival offered. I mean, who wouldn't want to do that?

The relationship between Josiah and Deja was hilarious and I liked how they fed off of one another. Josiah is a shy individual who needs to take a chance in life and Deja just goes with the flow and loves to take risks. It was a good Yin/Yang relationship. Also, the part where Deja was bi made her character more interesting to listen to. She would discuss her old relationships and talk about why she couldn't be with the girl/guy they ran into throughout the story.

The overall lesson to be learned is, learn how to take risks. Don't just wait for something to happen! I thought it was a cute ending and I loved the animation that was put into the book.
