Love the art style, and this low-key has studio Ghibli vibes which is cool.

4.5

A somewhat heavy read but worth it (just don't forget to check trigger warnings if needed). I didn't think I'd like this, I'm not really sure why, maybe just because I'm not a big fan of nonfiction; but I've seen it recommend many times so I decided to pick it up at the library. I was glad to find that it was more interesting than I'd anticipated, and also that certain bits were relatable to me so I was able to emotionally connect with it despite not being trans/enby.

Very cheesy – literally! It's looking camp right in the eye with the cheese theme. 

This is a, quick light hearted read with some pretty funny moments. I'm glad I picked this up at the library on a whim. I would definitely recommend this to teens and young adults who are looking for sapphic/queer stories! And to fans of graphic novels with colorful art styles.
