Don't care, don't like anyone.

Fun, full of twists and turns and loveable characters.

Although it has nice interesting characters, I felt like some sence of plot/urgency/something was missing to make this book really gripping.
(Also, I can't quite get how they managed to care about each other so quickly & intensely in such a short amount of time...)

Despite this it was a nice book I managed to gobble up pretty quickly and I'll be honest... I'm curious to read the second book. Bring it on!

3 Heartstopper updates per month wasn't filling my need for these guys so look what I ended up reading after swaring I wouldn't...
Oh well.
I love theeeeem.

bien bien bien

+ Easy to read, good for ov indian rep about an american-indian girl trying to step away from part of her indian culture that doesn't fit with her values.
+ I'm happy that one of my main "issues" was actually discussed in the book (doing something for someone else "for their own good" when it's something they didn't want to do).
- However other issues weren't.
- Basically Dimple is catty (and that's me being nice, not wanting to use b*tchy).

Everyone was queer. I loved it.

This graphic novel is in fact a collection of five short tales from prewar Spain. The darkness of the tales comes out really well in the pretty but dark artwork. I find it slightly disappointing that I was too confused and that I only fully understood the tales once I read the two or three explanation paragraphs at the end... Despite this I still recommend this graphic novel to anyone looking for dark and eerie tales.

On paper this seems to be everything I would love the most librarian demiace MC working with a emotion-feeling alien robot in a space-ish setting.
But the fact that there were so many 21st century pop culture references (potter, THUG, Coldplay...) felt weird.
I appreciate the importance of art (through books and music) in this story but how it was all out together and written just.didn't impress me as much as I wanted it too.
Also, their relationship is instalove even though they try to say it isn't.

Elizabeth Acevedo is becoming one of my favourite authors of all time. She never disappoints.
It's full of heart and fierceness, and I couldn't put it down.
