Oh I thought this was just SO sugary sweet!!! The book itself was obviously giving Disney vibes and finding magic and love, which was really cute. I really liked James and Tabi together and loved the way they both just wanted to find the magic in their jobs, even when everyone else didn't. And even as Tabi began seeing that the job *isn't* always all that magical, she still loved and truly believed she was making a difference and that, one day, her dream would be realized. The art style was also really cute as well and matched the vibe of the story perfectly. There's one panel towards the end that I especially liked and will be so happy to see in the physical book. Overall, this was an adorable graphic novel. My main complaint is just that I wish it was a teensy bit longer so that the story didn't have to move quite as fast as it did, but that's a minor gripe and I really loved reading this!

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an e-ARC of this in exchange for an honest review.
