A review by frasersimons
Kisses for Jet by Joris Bas Backer

slow-paced

2.0

I’m glad there’s another book out there with some queer and trans rep in it, but to be Frank, I didn’t think much of this actually worked. The artwork wasn’t for me and feels very rushed and pretty boring to look at. The characters and situations are contrived, things that would be happening in school aren’t, there’s weird subplots that are, again, wildly contrived. There’s barely any interiority and when it does pop up, it’s at odd times. It’s just fundamentally uninteresting and started losing me around a quarter of the way in, when the main tension was around a complete douche and his gold chain, I was on the struggle bus to try to care town.
