This graphic novel was an absolute pleasure to read. I cannot believe I had not heard about this before.
It follows a beautifully growing friendship that slowly develops into more. I felt so soft for the characters and their relationship right from the start. They are both so well developed and have so much depth. I could read about them for so much longer.
The representation on DID was wonderful. I still have to learn more about it, but to me it seems sensitively done. DID representation is so important, especially on a world with so much harmful media about it. It was dealt with in the story and it became part of it. Seeing the way Jacob and Murry talked about it was wonderful to see.
The relationship was adorable. The story deals with the repercussions and blatant homophobia often present living in the country side. But their relationship was never worse off from it. In the end to just fell helplessly in love with each other. They match each other so well it’s ridiculous, but it becomes clear pretty much right from the start. Their conversations are so heartfelt and sincere. They are perfect for each other.
Overall it was such a wonderful journey. It hit all the right feelings. The art style is beautiful. I have zero complaints.
Thank you Netgalley for the arc!
