This graphic novel was funny, sweet, and relatively lighthearted. The more serious parts were cut through with humor and the brightness of the illustration. I enjoyed the depictions of anxiety and over thinking in seemingly low-risk moments, like sending a “hello” text. The flashbacks for both characters provided some background context about the way Momo and PG present themselves individually.
Though I understand the decision to keep it light, I personally wanted the story to dive in a little more into certain aspects of each character: Momo and her people-pleasing tendencies, Momo’s friend planting seeds of doubt, and PG’s experiences outside of Momo and her ex best friend. (Like did PG talk about Momo with her friends too?)
Overall, I give this a 4 out of 5 stars. It was super cute, made me laugh unexpectedly, and I enjoyed their banter. The moments they were there for each other were lovable and it’s a great graphic novel if you’re looking for a fluffy romance in a college setting, with diverse characters.
