Very sweet. I would have loved it to be a bit longer to develope the relationship a little more, but I enjoyed the story, and the art is good.

I completely loved this comic! Gillman is a new favorite of mine, but I found this book by coincidence. I wasn't sure what to expect from this queer historical story, and absolutely loved the ending. The end notes were also great and showed off some interesting history.

Very sweet, cute story with incredible annotations and research about the time period. Romance felt irrelevant to the plot but was an appreciated addition ☺️

I adored the art style of this graphic novel, and loved the sapphic romance and trans rep. However, I wish it was longer so the plot and characters could be fleshed out more.

So sweet and wholesome!!

I just wish it was longer. The ending was too abrupt for me, I would have loved to see more of Flor and Grace's adventures!

And the history nerd in me really appreciated the author's historical notes.
