The Love Report
by BéKa
I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I started this with HIGH hopes, the graphics and description had me so excited to dive in. I do think the entire aesthetic that was used is absolutely spot-on and magnificent to look at. I loved the way every page looked. My problems with this come when you start to really read the story and realize... this is for a younger audience.
It focused very heavily on love - hence the name - but there was something that felt disconnected throughout it for me. It took a while for me to realize that the language and plotline were starting to give me ehhh vibes. Especially by the end, I enjoyed the general story but I don't think I would feel comfortable saying I loved it.
Now that's not saying I think younger readers couldn't read and grasp this and be able to understand these topics but it's a little on the nose considering I don't think it was done in a great way for them to read. Now if it had been directed more toward my age it would have been quite different because there wouldn't need to be that worry of someone reading this and thinking about the way they treat other girls and if the language is acceptable. But it could just be me being picky.
