"I'm not dating the 12% of you that I understand, I'm dating 100% of you. Including all your secrets that I don't know."
I loved the use of colour to differentiate between past, present and different settings, the art style is so simple yet beautiful. The characters were interesting and I liked the found family element.
If anything, I wish some aspects of the world building and characterisation were a bit more developed. I didn't feel as invested in the characters as I'd hoped and the ending wasn't entirely satisfying. However, the romance and relationships were sweet.
Overall, a lovely wee feminist, queer, Sci-fi graphic novel.
Graphic: Bullying, Transphobia, and Blood
Moderate: Violence
Minor: Death of parent
