The Art:
I'd totally recommend this graphic novel! I've included a few parts towards the beginning (feel free to skip over them if you want!) Visually, it is so colorful and appealing, and the paneling is excellent! I've included links because I am having trouble uploading the images. Goodreads needs to get in the 21st century.

Here is the first example

The Book:
I do feel like the romance was a bit rushed, the pacing with Bebe's family and their feelings towards her were resolved super quickly, and some of the negative comments made by the squad were never fully apologized for such. This graphic novel explores themes like tokenism and acceptance.

I'd totally read more about the squad as well as Annie and Bebe! I think the chemistry between all the characters was palpable and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Honestly, Adri summed up a lot of my thoughts perfectly.

I totally am getting this for the library!
