OH MY GOD

this is hands down the BEST graphic novel i've read this year if not in general!!!!

theres literally everything you would ever want from a graphic novel for younger audiences: gender-noncomfirming characters, trans characters, lesbians, and all of this while keeping an open mind and never ONCE going into detail about the suffering and hate the queer characters get. they are only met with love and understanding.

above all else this story is about loving yourself the way you are and finding joy in the little things. the metaphor of road kill and finding them love and a home after suffering the worst kind of way to die is so heartwarming.

im LITERALLY ugly crying as a type this because it was so good. mark my words, however, this is not a sad book. i'm only crying because its so wholesome and everyone gets a happy ending the way stories need to be. this story gives me so much hope for the world and honestly for my own story's ending.

im gonna need 5-10 business days to emotionally recover but this story will stay with me forever.
