'Vincent Book One: Guide to Love, Magic, and RPG' by Vitor Cafaggi is a collection of comic strips about a lovelorn character with tough choices to make.
Vincent rides the bus everyday and his life seems to be the same, until one day, he meets Lady. Instantly, he falls in love and dreams of a life with Lady. The problem is that she has a boyfriend. Now Vincent is crushed. That is until he meets Princess on the bus. Things are complicated by Vincent getting advice from his D&D group.
These are cute comics that tell a cute story. I like the characters and the situations. I look forward to reading more about Vincent.

Vincent is a relatable teen who is just learning how to deal with all the new teen issues that are popping up in his life. I can see this being a draw for older readers of Diary of a Wimpy kid because Vincent and Greg seem to have a lot in common. They are both awkward, they both have a good friend or two, and they both appeal to audiences younger than they are.
Let's hit on that last point. Although the content of this book makes me think it would be for a teen reader, I imagine 4th-6th graders would enjoy this book best. Vincent being an adorable puppy is part of it, but the tone of the book reads young which is the biggest part of it.
Because the book is about Vincent imagining himself in love with Lady, this becomes a little awkward because most 5th graders don't want to read about romance, especially 5th grade boys.
I think this is, unfortunately, a book that lost some of its magic in translation. Possibly this young feeling that I get as a reader has to do with cultural differences - do teens in Spain read more gentle type books? I don't know the answer to this question, but I'm curious because I'm not sure who in an American audience this book appeals to.
Thank-you to Net Galley for the review copy of this book. Options are all my own.

This was a super cute read about a sweet doggo named Vincent, who keeps falling love. First with Lady, who ends up getting back together with her ex-boyfriend and then with Princess, who wants to take a break from love. These quasi-romances play out in a fun way as Vincent daydreams, freaks out and reserves a reality dose from his best friend.

One day on the bus Vincent meets a girl named Lady. He instantly falls for her. With the help of his RPG playng friends and best friend Bu, he learns to navigate his new feelings.
The story line is simplistic and the cast of quirky characters are fun to read about through out this story. Vincent was adorable and I loved watching him try to figure out what to do about Lady and Princess. I thought his relationship with Bu was cute and I liked how he tried to follow her advice but ultimately came to his own conclusions in the end.
