A review by themargherita_s
Virtually Yours by Jeremy Holt
4.5
I wish it had been longer, because with more pages it would have had more space to develop some plot points (like the abusive relationship), or to show the passing of time and the developing of their feelings a little better. The way it is right now is a little too fast and a bit confusing.
The art style is so pretty, the friend group was amazing, and despite its pacing flaws it was such an enjoyable read that I still think it's worth 4.5 stars.
Also, did the author sneak in the Good Omens couple in page 79? I don't know the names of the characters because I haven't watched the show, but they are pretty recognizable. It's pretty cool if it is them.
Representation: plus size Latina fmc, Black mmc, multiple POC side characters. The author is queer, and while the two main characters are not said to be queer in the comic (as far as I saw), the fmc's best friend is gay and the whole group spends much of the book at her gay bar.
Content Warnings: domestic abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, fatphobia, alcohol consumption, sexual harassment, toxic parents & toxic partner.
