This is such a heartwarming and bittersweet read about finding your place, growing up/older (and the differences), and holding onto that ~magical~ quality of being a kid.

I was drawn in by the warm and witchy aesthetic of the art, and I stayed because even as a twenty-something adult the theme resonated on a deep level. It’s possibly the exact thing I needed to read this particular week.

The author weaves the lives of the various characters in beautifully simple ways that captures what it’s like to love people and grow in and out of relationships.

Ultimately I gave the book only 4 stars because I think some concepts, like the beginning montage, could have been more clear (like I kept thinking it spanned a few years when it was actually a few months), and some panels were hard to see because the colors were too similar. Overall it didn’t detract too much from the reading experience, though.
