Juliet Takes a Breath: The Graphic Novel by Gabby Rivera

Aw man!!!!
Did I enjoy this one!!!

Again, a lot of bright colours and such vibrant one's as well. The drawings just came to life and from the start I was there with Juliet. I have always known that I love, just love, no matter their race, sex, gender, no matter what they identify as. I know love and I love beings, people and creatures a like. (love and making love or having sex are completely different and can be done without one and another) So I felt everything and I love the journey Juliet went on. It's tough and this graphic novels shows how we can be or are racists without knowing or intending to be one. It shows that women have it rough, but ad the LGBTQ+ and being black and it becomes a whole other story. I'm a white woman and I know life isn't fair or equal. But I ain't black and I adore and look up to those who are. Black women are just so much stronger and they are gorgeous and supportive towards each other and I'm here for it. You could definitely feel the love between some and by the end almost all of Juliet's family members and even strangers who just take her in because she is one of them, no questions asked. They could feel it. I just loved it! And I hope I didn't offend any one, I don't mean any harm nor do I have any bad intentions or feelings. I try to be careful with what I write and the love for this comic and the black and LGBTQ+ communities is just what I feel. Even if I'm not a part of either. I love all of it!
