I quite enjoyed the premise of this graphic novel, but felt as though it ended as soon as it got going. Artwork was lovely and gave it a real Western and old-timey feel.

The father actually being supportive/helping them escape at the end was not the twist I was expecting.

I liked all the Southern-isms that reminded me of home.

this was a cute comic, but not a very memorable one. I don't think it has any particularly glaring flaws, though i agree with other reviewers that the pacing is too fast and the romance (which isn't really all that compelling in the first place) doesn't get enough chance to breathe. it's also too cutesy for my personal taste, but that's more subjective. all in all, it was fine.

Very sweet. I would have loved it to be a bit longer to develope the relationship a little more, but I enjoyed the story, and the art is good.

I completely loved this comic! Gillman is a new favorite of mine, but I found this book by coincidence. I wasn't sure what to expect from this queer historical story, and absolutely loved the ending. The end notes were also great and showed off some interesting history.
