What They're Saying

Critics Review

“The character designs stand out among other current graphic novels, with a more retro and realistic feel featuring orange, yellow, and green tones … A story that will resonate with teen and new adult readers.” —School Library Journal


“Davidson gives this relatable coming-of-age tale an alt vibe with a retro, high-contrast color palette similar to newspaper comics and a boldly provocative art style.” —Booklist


“In a retro style reminiscent of Archie comics, Davidson… fashions characters who are convincingly relatable.” —Publishers Weekly
