While I've read all four of the graphic novels that are out (plus everything Alice has published to Webtoon), I'm only going to give my "review" on this one. Review has quotes around it because this is my "review":
EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THESE BOOKS BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST A BUNDLE OF JOY AND HAPPINESS AND HOPE AND LOVE AND ALL THINGS GOOD.
I read these following the passing of my kitty - one of the hardest weeks of my entire life - and they were the only things that brought a smile to my face. I will forever be thankful to Alice for writing such sweetness to help me through such a tough time.
The adaptation is also adorable and did a really great job following the story, for the most part! I could've done without Imogen or the added Tao debacle, but overall it was excellent!
