The beautiful art is what made me buy this book! I'm super oblivious to the DC universe and at first didn't even realize Starfire is an established character. But still I enjoyed this queer coming of age story! I think Mandy is quite relatable to teens, which is who this story is geared towards. Some of the characterization is a bit shallow because there's not a lot of time in the story to establish nuanced personality, but it's not a complete deal breaker. Aesthetically loved this book!
