Really enjoyed the art style of this. I think the audience that will enjoy this the most is YA.
The narrative had many elements I enjoy. Short vignettes, different narrative and visual styles, a coming of age, queer story, a bit abstract, with a MC who is struggling to find their place in the world. It felt like many of the memoir graphic novels I've enjoyed in the past.

However, even though there were a lot of ideas introduced, none of them really felt like they were explored enough. Personally, I would have liked there to be at least one that had a full arc that made sense.

I would certainly pickup another graphic novel from Joana Estrela.
