General Comments: A very honest, and hard-hitting read that does not pull its punches when examining its themes; grounded in reality, it explores a bitter-sweet, coming-of-age romance. Realistic in its tone, but hopeful. Exceptionally crafted, a page turner in that regard. The script is simple, but the wonderful pacing and artwork flourishes with raw-emotion. Understated, yet affectingly artistic.
