This book has taken me too long to pick this up, but I’m glad I finally did! The hype is deserved. I ate this one up and I’m excited to dive into the next one.
We see their friendship develop and strengthen and how comfortable they become with one another.

Sometimes graphic novels can feel like they’re missing a little bit of something to me because they’re fast paced, but this story felt complete, even with a cliffhanger.
