Hmmm...I was hoping for more! I was really excited about a character who is half senegambian as a Gambian-American myself. But the pace of the story was too fast, Nina was a bit of a brat. And how quickly she goes from one love interest to the next and important events feel glossed over. A slower pace would have made for a more impactful story. Loved the art and overall premise but wish it had more depth.
