This graphic novel is charming! It has a great plot that, as a member of the alphabet mafia, had me relating to many feelings and actions of the mc Morgan. The girl from the sea deals with the struggles of coming out and being scared to feel different then everyone else in a very lighthearted and entertaining way. The novel dealt with genuine issues but the cute graphics and fantastical elements made the issues an easier pill to swallow. I will absolutely recommend this book due to its validating storyline for many members of the LGBT+ community. For nothing else, you need to read this graphic novel because of the incredible art!
