YESSSSS The humor in this graphic novel was spot-on! I loved the names all being cheeses, the art was gorgeous and I loved the character designs. I fell in love with all of the cast in the story, loved it from beginning to end.

A good, short read about all of the eccentricities that makes you ask "what is going on in their little cat brain???" Great humor :)

Navigating With You by Jeremy Whitley
5.0
This book was an ARC from Netgalley.
WOW. A MASTERPIECE. Loved it from beginning to end. We’ve got bi representation, a sapphic relationship that is SO DANG CUTE, disabled representation, multicultural protagonists, the WHOLE SHABANG.
PLEASE give this one a read.
(Though I will say a minor nitpick, Gabby mentions in one scene that it is the first time Neesha wears her braces with shorts in front of her, when in the scene prior to that, she was wearing shorts with braces… made me do a double take LOL)

Too fast paced, it felt really rushed and made the conflicts seem melodramatic
Tegan and Sara: Junior High by Tegan Quin, Sara Quin

I liked the themes of sisterhood and navigating life as a young adult, but for some reason it didn’t really fully click with me. I really liked the “twinspace” where they were color coded and had discussions (and sometimes arguments) between each other. It wasn’t for me, but I think that others would definitely like it a lot!

I really loved this book! It’s a very sweet story about the difference between passionately studying something and overdoing it, and about gender identity and coming out as non-binary. As an enby (ex?) viola player I really connected with it and appreciated it!
