I really liked this graphic novel both in the art and the story! The art style is really pretty, and I love the bright color scheme because a lot of the graphic novels I’ve read so far have a more muted color scheme and this was a nice change! 

I loved that the story centered on the same day and each chapter followed a different character. All four of the girls were so funny and I loved the closeness of their relationships. And I loved how even though each chapter was focused on a different character they still came together to form a single narrative. 

One of my favorite parts of the story was how they included mental health in the story.
Especially because when Davene shares how she’s feeling with Cookie, she  tries to understand and be supportive instead of being totally dismissive.


Overall, I thought it was a really fun read and would definitely recommend it if you’re in the mood for something fun and quick!
