funny hopeful lighthearted

Cuteee!! I really think I liked this one a lot better than the first one. It has a more cohesive structure that allows storylines to develop over several comics instead of cutting each one off to fit into a single comic. I thought this one was funnier and I laughed out loud multiple times. Also, I’m sure already knowing the character only furthered my enjoyment. This was also longer which worked better to get to know Bitty and everyone but I didn’t know I had gotten to the last page and got sad when I realized it was over :( 

Absolutely sugary sweet but it does deal with some real issues. The difference an accepting environment and family and friends can make, what it means to put yourself out there in order to be a role model for others, and how risking everything to be your true self can end up shifting a culture.
