Cute YA graphic novel that reads a bit on the younger side. It has some good moments about the history of slavery in New Orleans.  Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy this as much as I wanted to because the MC has a crush on the son of a plantation owner who’s amazingly a woke ass guy and it felt a bit “white savior”….theres a plot twist near the end that makes it better but I wish we’d known that plot point in the beginning rather than being a plot twist cause it dampens the reading experience before you find out. On a good note, the art is wonderful!
