I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I started this comic at midnight because my favourite author had recommended it. Well, I'm so glad II had no idea what I was getting myself into when I started this comic at midnight because my favourite author had recommended it. Well, I'm so glad I gave it a try. It was everything I had been waiting and didn't know I needed in my life. It's basically about a bunch of queer teens in the 50's, they're in 3 different gangs and they're just hilarious and amazing. Please please, read it. If you want a comic with a lesbian sweetheart, a pansexual girl, a demisexual/demiromantic boy, a gay dork, a genderqueer baby, a transgender girl, an asexual/aromantic boy and several sapphic ladies, read this please. And like, all the characters aren't white, there are several black and latinx main characters. It made me s happy, damn.

I found the characters under-developed and their romance unconvincing. the concept of the book itself is interesting: how women have been robbed of their achievements throughout history, but the execution was poor.

I was so deeply invested in Viola and Gracewood's happiness that I found myself always wanting to come back to them.

I loved the dynamic between Violet and James. you could see how much they cared about each other even when they both plotted against one another. although it was slow at times, I still thought it was a delightful read, perfect to get me in the mood for season 2 of Bridgerton!

I'm not used to reading about Korea and the aftermaths of the armistice between the North and the South, but this small book was a window into this period and definitely made me want to learn more about this specific part of history (4.18)...more
