Yeah, still pretty interesting. The series is in no rush to answer its questions, letting us bask in this world that the creator has made.
Thought that was Amy with her hair down on the cover instead of Cassie. Pretty neat episode for Cassie. From tropes, you'd expect Cassie to be the mean girl archetype, so it's nice to see she has more depth than that, even if she has a lot of room to grow.
Oh Oliver, where are you and what are you thinking right now? Because it's been a while since I read this series, so I genuinely don't remember what happened last time.

BEST ONE YET.
The ending is so emotional for me, every time.

After reading this book, I realized that I must have skipped #4! I'll have to go back to see what I missed. No wonder I felt a little lost while reading.
In this installment, Amy and Oliver are on the outs. She wants to be done with him, but she is also so intrigued by him and wants to help him get away from the Nothing. She remembers that he frequently goes off into the woods, so she heads there hoping to find him. Instead, she comes across an abandoned water treatment plant where Oliver has painted several murals. But what do these images mean? Meanwhile, Cassie insists on taking Amy shopping so she can find a dress for homecoming. But Cassie gets quite a shock when David breaks up with her - over the phone.
I love the artwork in these books - but they are too short! I want to keep reading and reading and have more happen. Instead, I fly through these in under an hour.

Space Boy continues to be an engaging and unique story with great art and lovable characters. I did not love the cross-dressing comment made by one of the characters, but maybe that will be redeemed in a future volume.
Summary with spoilers:
Amy struggles to find a way to reconnect with Oliver but he gives her the silent treatment. She explores the abandoned water treatment plant and finds the murals Oliver has made which reflect his past family. Amy is confused by the murals but decides that she will not allow Oliver to shut her out because she cares about him.
David breaks up with Cassie, and she confides in Amy that she should have realized she was hurting David. Amy vows to stand by Cassie and to be there for her friends.

References a cross-dressing day for spirit week being embarrassing for the boys. I could have done without that.

I read all of these books on Webtoons, so I don't know what happened in this exact section of the story, but overall I rate the series 5 stars. The art is lovely, the characters are delightful, and the story inventive and engaging.
