Hello Fellow Readers,

While I continue to absolutely love the artwork this one just didn't capture my attention like the last one did. Once again Chet was my favorite and they just continue to be my favorite. While I liked Selena and Julie in the last volume, I did think they may have been going too fast with their relationship. Now, this time its obvious that their relationship is moving too quick. While I typically love that their relationship isn't all rainbows and sunshine it seems to be a bit unhealthy, which worries me. The script for this one was also uninteresting, the stakes just seemed low and I didn't even really care about it. I hope the next one is better.

Overall, the artwork is amazing but the writing needs more work.

Hello Fellow Readers, 

Today we have a Graphic novel about a butt being stolen and the friends who try to get it back. First of all, what really caught my attention is the artwork. It's so cute and I think it maybe my favorite artwork in a Graphic novel yet. I am going to look up the artists to see if I can get some artwork because It's really amazing. 

As far as the story goes it was good. I really like Selena and Julie's relationship, but there was a moment in the book where they had a bit of a argument, which doesn't really get resolved. Also, the relationship is so new but they seem to be falling for each other fast. It was really cute though, and I honestly don't think I've ever rooted for a couple as quick as I rooted for them. 

I really loved Chet, they were such a great character and I am so glad they were included in the book. This is the second graphic novel that I've read where they had a non binary character and I am so glad they were included because (once again) I love Chet. Unlike the last novel, Chet was more fleshed out and given more room to grow. 

While the artwork is cutesy, it does deal with some heavy topics , like when your identity of who you are is taken from you, or when you believe your not "normal" and the pressure to fit in. I can't wait to read volume 2.

Overall, a good, fun, and unique read.
