This is a soft, cute YA contemporary with sweet cinnamon roll characters that I just wanted to hug and squeeze. It's a bit of a slow introduction to the series, but does lay down some good groundwork. It contains drama, conflict, and emotional struggle, but still manages to be ridiculously heart-warming. The creativity is great and I'm interested in seeing where the story goes.

The drawings are lovely and the storyline is really easy to follow, despite the limitations of the graphic format. This is only my second graphic novel, and I am struggling with adapting to the format. However, this story is helping me become more comfortable, as it does balance the advantages of the format with the limitations fairly well.

There is a semi-predictable progression of the plot, but I found that to be fine. It really just felt like more of a cozy, relaxed read...something that would work especially well as a palate cleanser between genres. Also...did I mention that I love the characters? (They are SUPER adorable!)
