Synopsis: BFFs Grace and Lola try to unravel the mystery of romance with a plan to observe, study, and analyze the ways of love at their middle school in the first book in this addictive graphic novel series.
BFFs Grace and Lola talk about everything related to romance—and have lots of questions: What about the mysterious allure of the popular girl at school? And the rebellious goth with the reputation? And boys. They don’t quite understand what makes some school romances soar to legendary heights, while other flirtations fizzle. Lola has an idea—they’ll observe, study, and analyze all the couples at their Junior High—and compile their findings as The Love Report. Surprises await them, and force them to learn to see beyond appearances in this fast-paced series opener. They’ll also discover secrets between themselves.
Review: This was such an amazing graphic novel. This book is about two friends and in a duel POV switch it shows the two’s friendship through the ups and the downs. The book focuses on the two learning about love through the scientific method, but finding some hard truths along the way. The book is extremely well written and I loved every second of it. The world building was amazing, as well as the character development, and I can’t wait to see a second book to compliment this one.
The only issue I had with the book is that it was a bit slow in a couple of places, but other than that it was a perfect read.
Verdict: I loved it so much. Highly recommend!
