It’s a cute, fast read. It’s a slice of life story, so there is no defined beginning or end. Nothing is resolved, which makes sense because that’s how real life works, but as a reader, I prefer knowing without a shadow of a doubt how things turn out for the character.
The two main characters are two girls in their early teens, and it was refreshing to read a story where the children are written realistically!
And the art is incredibly gorgeous!
