What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Is Love the Answer? is very much a ‘coming out, but to yourself’ kind of story, and it does a lot of things I wish other queer stories would do… As a neat and nice single volume story, I would love for Is Love the Answer? to make its way into libraries everywhere for teens and even adults.” –TheOASG
“Doesn’t offer any clear-cut answers, nor does it settle all of its characters into a comfortable happily ever after. But what it does do is teach the questions to ask and stress that it’s okay if you don’t come up with a definitive answer, now or ever. There is no such thing that’s ‘normal.’ There’s only who you are, and whoever that is, it’s perfectly fine.” –Anime News Network
“Very authentic and wonderfully written… An amazing story of self-acceptance that I think everyone should read.” –Library Lady of NYC
