PG
and Momo are now my comfort characters - I love these honeys so dang much. I will be buying a physical copy so I can re-read whenever I want, because the amount of times I giggled, kicked my feet into the air, and blushed was ridiculous.

The illustrations were gorgeous, the color palette was so pretty, and the narrative took its time, yet flew by?! I am absolutely obsessed with this opposites attract college romance. PG struggled with everyone perceiving her as "just here for a good time," while Momo struggled with everyone perceiving her as "inexperienced" and just a secondary character in everyone else's lives. They find their way to each other, miscommunicate, make assumptions based on both their insecurities and external factors (seemingly well-meaning friends who are like, "Uh, are you *sure* she is into you? Don't be silly.") I loved how authentic this was with the awkward moments, the anxious nature of getting to know someone new, and trusting your heart.
