Super cute and easy to read! This is a small little book that is built around webcomics, meaning there’s no full plot but more tiny little graphic short stories.
This graphic novel featured lots of mental health issues, as well as friendships and other silly stories that I loved. It was super easy to get into, always being able to jump into a new story with different characters each time.
Speaking about characters, these characters are featured as different animals such as birds, penguins, foxes, rabbits, etc. Each character was special in their own way that I adore, two characters stuck with me. One of them is Fox, a character who is hard of hearing so they use sign language, which I love seeing in comics since I feel as though this type of representation is not show ku nearly as much as it should be. Another one is Kiwi, and that’s due to just how chaotic that chick is with their little knife.
Now going back to speaking about some of the issues that this webcomic features. It shows mental health in a way that makes it not as scary to deal with. Despite such a subject that can be very hard to deal with, the way that this comic dealt with it was in a lighter and manageable way where I could easily relate to many of the featured scenes in this book that made me feel like I’m not alone in this journey of life! There are also so many encouraging parts in this book which was just what I needed right now. I am in love with this comic. Not to even mention how cute the art style is!
Highly recommend this to those who are looking for a cute and encouraging comic that is bound to lighten up your mood!
Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read this ARC!
