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.

Very cute and fun but what makes it for me is the notes that came with it! So much care was put into the details and I loved having the extra context

Very sweet, cute story with incredible annotations and research about the time period. Romance felt irrelevant to the plot but was an appreciated addition ☺️

I adored the art style of this graphic novel, and loved the sapphic romance and trans rep. However, I wish it was longer so the plot and characters could be fleshed out more.

Super fun, cute, sweet, and uplifting. An absolute joy while not skating over the painful realities.
