Really really wonderful representation - two queer women of color falling in love!! The art was gorgeous, too.

One incredibly special moment was towards the end, (small spoiler)
there was an image of a woman with her shirt off (bra on), and she was expressing self-consciousness about the state of her belly and stretch marks from having been pregnant with five children over the course of her life--and those things are very much represented in the image.
Besides people I specifically follow on Instagram, this was the first time I had seen this represented in visual media format, and I cannot overstate the emotional impact that had on me. Truly wonderful.

The dialogue was preeeeetty simplistic for my taste - I wished we could get even more layers to the story, it almost moved too fast for me. But did I still love it? Yes. Did I cry during an 88-page fast-paced graphic novel that took me 30 minutes to read? Very much yes.
