Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for a copy of this book.

I absolutely loved this. Without having read the original novel (which is now very much on my TBR), I went in completely blind. I am in absolute awe of the drawings. I thought the drawings were absolutely beautiful and seeing so many beautiful characters of all shapes and colours was amazing. Skinny was definitely not the default here and I loved to see it. I am in LOVE with the drawing style and kept grinning at the art like a mad person.

As far as the story goes, I thought it was nice. The story was lovely as a coming-of-age, finding yourself and your place in the world, finding your kinds of people moment. I did wonder at the complete lack of men in this story and at the fact that Juliet seems so very clueless about things like gender and pronouns. I even had a discussion about this with a friend of mine and they also felt that Juliet should have been more informed especially seeing as she's had a girlfriend for a while and is clearly familiar with the internet. And I had to agree with them. It does seem a bit odd.

Then again, I was positively surprised at how normalised topics like body, masturbation and periods were portrayed as I think that is very important (maybe at times it was overly positive but we were dealing with an overly excitable individual in the story, eh?)

While I would probably give the story alone a 3-3.5 rating, the art was so great and beautiful that I HAVE to bump my overall rating up to five. I love a good drawing.
