On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden
4.0
adventurous dark emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A wonderfully lengthy graphic novel set in the—what seems to be—far distant future where everyone is a woman or nonbinary and space is filled with fractals of land. Split into two timelines: Mia in the past falls in love with Grace and then loses her, and Mia of the present must steel herself to find Grace and herself along the way. A beautiful story of friendship, love, and finding your place in the universe.
