by Renn
I got this as a Christmas gift for my younger sister and she really enjoyed it. The art work is beautiful.

Honestly it was a little weird BUT I really enjoyed it. It had a lovely message. I definatly think it could have been expanded as there is definatly the opportunity to go into more depth with certain characters such as serena (main friend) and the little brother. But still a beautiful book worth the read
by Shania
I haven’t found the time to finish this story yet, but it’s still beautiful. The art style is perfect to just stare at for hours. Big and sturdy hardback!

My little sister absolutely loves this book! She originally got a different copy for our local library and loved it so I thought I’d surprise her and bought her, her very own copy and she’s obsessed ❤️ thank you so much for having this on sale I’ll be purchasing more as she’s such a book worm ????
by Riley

The most I can say about this is I love the art-style, the lesbian love story, the plot, the characters — everything.
Everything about this graphic novel is great and I recommend if you want a sweet girl love story!

This is adorable and has that squishy good feeling to it.
Morgan is trying to get through school. Dealing with the changes to her family dynamics after a divorce and her Dad moving out and away, and her family dealing with complicated emotions. She’s also so carefully trying to keep things in different boxes until she can move away and live authentically.
She then meets Keltie who is as earnest as Morgan is reserved. Keltie is intense and like a puppy full of energy. She is quite funny too to Morgan’s careful approach to everything. Oh and she’s also a Selkie.
Morgan is learning to come to terms with who she is. Warning though that there is an outed situation that happens but those around her are very accepting. This is a coming-of-age story that deals with friendship and family dynamics and learning to be free and accepting yourself. I also really enjoyed the repairing of the relationship between Morgan and her younger brother.
