This book had a great premise, but the execution was lackluster.

I will say the book is relatable. As a 30 year old who survived my 20s, I did relate to some of the feelings and experiences the author wrote about.

My main issue with this book is that the essays are way too long. They could have easily been trimmed down to half their length.

Wow! What a powerful memoir!

As an Asian American female, I was super intrigued by the premise of this memoir. It did not disappoint!

The memoir is told through a series of essays, which worked so well. Each essay was well crafted and blended personal experience with research. It dove deep into how Asian women have been fetishized throughout history and the media.

This was a great start to the series!

Going into this, I knew nothing about the comic or the danmei novel it was based on. I went into it blind.

First off, the art is absolutely stunning! Since I had an ARC, the majority of the book was in black and white. However, there were some pages in the beginning that were in full color.

This was an interesting middle grade look into America during the Vietnam War.

First off, I did like that it took place during the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War is not often depicted in books, especially middle grade ones, so it was refreshing to see. I also loved the setting of San Diego. I used to live there so it holds a special place in my heart.

Wow! What a book! It was one of the most unique fantasy books I‘ve ever read.

It took me about 2 months to read this book, mainly because it‘s a story worth savoring. I didn‘t want to rush through it and I am glad I didn‘t. I enjoyed every page of this book!

The world was so different from anything I've read before.

This was such an entertaining graphic novel!

The premise was super fun. Basically, one day the sky turns purple and it causes people to create scientific breakthroughs and become superheroes and supervillains.

At times the story was somewhat hard to follow because of the many characters. However, there is a cast list at the end of the book.

This was a cute romance with all the fall vibes!

This book checked off every box when it came to everything fall related: apple cider donuts, Gilmore Girls, a corn maze, and even a dog named Pumpkin! It also had all the cozy small town vibes with the mom and pop shops. The inn was adorable and so was Aiden‘s house.
