Sara illustrates their shared past as a heteronormative couple and guides the reader through the ups and downs of coming out and accepting yourself. For Sara, it was finding out that she was bi. For Diana, it was finding out she was trans.
This story does not shy away from the messiness that relationships can experience, especially relationships that face such a deep and intrinsic change. Through it all, the story educates the reader with an empathetic yet firm hand through Sara's art and dialogue.
I would also like to point out that the art style and colour pallet (trans flag let's goooo!) make this book such a cozy read. It's soft, it's vulnerable, it's funny, and relatable! The translators did a fantastic job to keep the heart of this story alive. Snaps all around to this entire team, and thank you for sharing this story!
Thank you to Edelweiss for sending me a free copy in exchange for an honest review!...more
