The Sweetness Between Us by Sarah Winifred Searle

2.5

i wanna address the elephant in the room first: no, this is not a sapphic romance. yes, that is despite how the cover looks. yes, i completely believed it was sapphic when taking it home from the library. now, to be fair, it’s not just a queerbait cover with a straight romance!! Perley never quite read as cis to me, and in one of the final panels (it’s extremely easy to miss, honestly) he’s wearing a he/they pronoun pin :) i was pretty weirded out for a while by this being a straight romance with a very queer-looking cover (like come on, look at the colors, it’s literally the bisexual flag), but i feel a little better now after finishing.
anyways, other things i want to yap about: the art style felt stiff in places, and sometimes honestly looked like wikihow art, but it worked when looking a little more sketchy or in close ups. also Grumble is the best man ever, i love him dearly
still 2.5 stars cause i honestly just didn’t enjoy this much (except for Grumble my darling)
