The art isn't bad, and a story that has some promise but does little with it. I didn't really get this book. There are little plot points scattered throughout, but they have no resolution or follow-up, and then it ends.
There were parts of this book that I loved, and parts that I absolutely hated. It was deeply sad and sometimes bland but I couldn't stop reading.
A short read, but a good one. Typically great and imaginative story from [a:Neil Gaiman 1221698 Neil Gaiman https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1234150163p2/1221698.jpg] illustrated by the artists behind the brilliant [b:Daytripper 8477057 Daytripper Fábio Moon https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327876816s/8477057.jpg 13341979].
I'm still not sure how to rate this book. The utopian city the main character lives in is a hard sell, as nice of a thought as it might be. I really like the idea of LGBT books (especially YA LGBT books) that are pure escapist fantasies, because that can be a very positive and inspiring thing, but parts of this book just feel inauthentic for reasons I can't quite put my finger on. Some of the characters and dialogue feel too quirky and clever for their own good, and that makes even the good moments ring hollow. Still, it was a hard book for me to truly dislike. It's short, mostly enjoyable fluff, though it could have been much better.
