I'd never seen Lucie Bryon's art prior to reading this and I'm blown away by her work. I love the color palettes, the loose but neat line work, and the way she conveys texture. Her illustrations are captivating but also light and cute. The characters were all interesting and realistically complex. And of course I loved the sweet gay romance of it all.

My only complaint is about the story itself. The plot lacked something. I think I wanted a bit more depth, more time to let things land. Plus, the book takes place at numerous parties, making everything run together a bit. It could feel somewhat repetitive. More development in between these party scenes might have helped. 

I would definitely recommend this book just for the illustrations alone. So beautiful.
