thanks to netgalley for a free arc in exchange for an honest review. to start, the art in this is so unique for a graphic novel, almost with a watercolor element. i really enjoyed the way this book was illustrated. however, pacing was bizarre. it was hard to track the progress of teresa and ruben's relationship because i wasn't quite sure how much time was passing between scenes. because of this, i wasn't sure whether their actions in their relationship were believable or not. additionally, the notes in carter's section were near-illegible for me. when including handwritten elements, especially ones that are VERY important to the narrative, they shouldn't be hard for a reader to understand.
