nerdinthelibrary 's review for:

Goldie Vance, Vol. 1 by Hope Larson
4.0

content warnings: this review pointed out the fact that there's a literal n*zi in this graphic novel
representation: biracial sapphic main character, black side character, sapphic side character

This was really adorable!! It's Nancy Drew, if Nancy Drew were a wlwoc in the 1950s/60s. Right off the bat, I love when people write stories and are like "racism?? homophobia?? in one of the most aesthetically pleasing eras of the 20th century?? not in my story", and that's exactly what this is (if you like this you should read the webcomic rock and riot, just sayin)

From the art style, to the characters, to the (possible) romance, to the mystery, everything about this was just super cute. This was going to be a five star for me but then I read the review which I've linked in the content warnings and that didn't make me dislike this necessarily, but it did give me a more negative perspective on it.

I would recommend reading that review before making a decision on whether or not you want to read this, but I would highly recommend nonetheless.
