Story #1: 3⭐'s
Story #2: 3.5 ⭐'s
Story #3: 4⭐'s
Story #4: 2.5⭐'s
Story #5: 3⭐'s
Story #6: 3⭐'s
Story #7: 4.25⭐'s
Story #8: 3.5⭐'s
Story #9: 2⭐'s
Story #10: 4⭐'s
Story #11: 3.5⭐'s*
Overall rating has to be a 3⭐. I wanted to love this so much more than I did. In all honesty I like the idea of a short story collection of comics but none of them really worked past there gimmick. Most of them didn't feel complete, but not in an uncomfortable way but in annoyance way. Normally I like reasons why the short story was written but it also didn't work here expect for the last one. Would still recommend but excited to read full length things by this author one day. A lot of potential.

Was kind enough to receive an arc for this novel.
Which I wish it would've gone to someone who loved it. I personally found eighty percent appalling and unreadable. I will not lie I even skimmed part of the middle. The MC head is a jumbled mess of bad writing. I know an ARC is before final print, but I don't think the big issues will be fixed in a draft or 2 above this.
The story is like most a mess and hard to follow with one dimensional ass holes. Just like Michaelides other books I just don't think he's for me. I'll probably skip his next outing like I'm telling you to skip this one.

I don't believe this will work for everyone, but to me this is as close to perfection as you can get.
Even though not everything connected like I wanted it to. There was enough here to be pleasantly surprise and learned a few things.

The White and Blue Between Us had a quality that I am just learning about. The coziness of BL Manga. This being the third one I've read I'm quickly wanting to read more. In some ways this felt as an extension of a prior one, to the determent I had make sure it wasn't.
This was also adult magna which means I was shocked to see sex. Not mad but shocked.
The overall story worked for me on a lot of levels, and I felt like we got the perfect amount of story. I love the low angst, and low action. I love how in love the protagonists are. Just had a good time overall and will defiantly be recommending.
