This was a great read detailing Juliet’s journey to delving further into her queerness, encountering white feminism and inauthentic allyship, exploring life in a new city, and learning more about herself and what she wants out of a relationship. 

The illustrations were also absolutely stunning.

 The only thing I wish we got was more development of side characters but otherwise I enjoyed this read and would recommend it.

I think that I’m going to love all coming of age/coming out stories about Black and POC characters.

The original version of this book is one of my all-time favorites. When I saw that this graphic novel version existed I was especially pleased. I did feel that some of the plot points were rushed compared to the regular print edition. Still, the illustrations were lovingly done, and I loved falling in love with Juliet’s growth all over again.
