I enjoyed that this is kind of combination graphic novel with large chunks of prose that, at times, read like poetry. It worked well for the subject matter and balanced out the story overall. The story itself is more of a quiet one, taking you through the feelings of first love. It's very much a character drive story, and I definitely appreciated it for that.
The ending is abrupt, and not really what I was expecting for this particular story. There were times that I wished some of the details were more developed, which would have helped me get a little more invested in the story. Overall, not a bad graphic novel, but probably not a standout for me for the year.
