This was really sweet! I really enjoyed how the manga Neesha and Gabby were reading was intertwined with their own story. It was fun to get to read it as they were reading it! It also reflected what was going on in their own story, as they both learned to move forward and trust each other.

The art style works well with the overall story, even if it a bit more text heavy than other graphic novels I've read before. The emotions throughout feel realistic, and Whitley deals with difficult topics in a way that's definitely accessible to teens. Definitely recommend this one!
