Very cute and fun but what makes it for me is the notes that came with it! So much care was put into the details and I loved having the extra context

this was a cute comic, but not a very memorable one. I don't think it has any particularly glaring flaws, though i agree with other reviewers that the pacing is too fast and the romance (which isn't really all that compelling in the first place) doesn't get enough chance to breathe. it's also too cutesy for my personal taste, but that's more subjective. all in all, it was fine.

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.

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.

This is a story about trans people during the American Civil War but an uplifting one.
