~ arc provided by NetGalley ~
i really loved the stylistic choices of this graphic novel, from the art to the sepia colour palette and the designs of Juliet and Deborah - it definitely added to the sense of a retro, edgy cartoon (and really reminded me of Daria, Downtown, and Nana)
as for the story, i liked the idea and plot - but i think it really needed to be longer, as a single book or extended series with several volumes. i feel like the relationship between Juliet and Deborah wasn’t given enough development and depth, and i didn’t really know much about either character or see them change, which also meant i was thrown with later plot points which v much came out of nowhere and i had no investment in.
