Thanks to Feiwel & Friends and NetGalley for an advanced copy of We Could be Magic by Marissa Meyer to review! This is Meyer’s first contemporary graphic novel, and I’d say that she hit it out of the park. The story lends itself well to the magic of the graphic novel illustrations from Joelle Murray.
Sommerland in this book sort of functions like Disney World, so if you’re a Disney Fan, you’ll probably love this book! From the beginning, Tabi is determined to fulfill her goal of becoming a princess, despite the comments she gets from other people. I loved her as a main character, and she has great chemistry with her crush. Getting to see how she interacted with the magic of the park, even when it wasn't exactly how she pictured, was so wholesome and lovely.
My only qualm is that I wish some of the side characters could have had a bit more room to breath. Other than that, this is a delightful graphic novel romance you should definitely check out this summer!
