Was definitely getting a Scott Pilgrimy vibe throughout the story, mainly through its tone and focus on flawed people that slowly try to be better. While this is definitely a comedic graphic novel, it really excels in its drama, especially when characters open up and engage in very honest communication. The characters feel like actual people: they make mistakes, have doubts and insecurities they try to work through, and find security in others. I enjoyed Ella's sweet relationship with Madeline, but even her strong friendship with Leslie was nice to see. 

The simple color palette did a lot for the atmosphere. The mixture of two different colors throughout various points of the story really helped sell the various emotional transitions of the main characters and reinforce a laid back vibe.
