I hate most romance books and films. They make me want to vom. In fiction and real life. The only romances I inhale are the messed-up, dark kind of romance, yet for some bizarre reason, when it comes to graphic books, I can happily read smoochy stuff as long as it's written well, and this book was EVERYTHING!

This book is a sapphic, cute, funny and heartwarming romance story about two college girls. Momo is introverted and shy with what would seem to be social anxiety. and PG is a popular lady who appears to leave a trail of broken hearts behind her.

The relationship development between them was so adorable, I didn't vomit once. The backstories of the girls, the college vibes, Eunnie's writing, and the beautiful illustrations had me kicking my feet. I am a grown woman kicking my damn feet because I wanted nothing but the best for Momo and PG.
Momo, whom I instantly loved, reminds me of me: introverted, shy, and with a small circle of friends. From the very start, I felt there was more to PG, she didn't seem very happy with her choices, but she was very charming, and I liked her a lot.

The bipoc representation throughout the entire book was chefs kiss. As a Londoner, that's what I am used to, and I love seeing that in books.

I didn't expect this would be a 5-star read, but it was. I really can't wait to see what other books Eunnie will be putting out. I will definitely be reading this again, and it's such a pretty book to look at, hold, and read.
