cute queer romance

This book is so stinkin’ cute, the artwork is so gorgeous and you find yourself really immersed into the story. I especially loved the little text conversations between Morgan and her friends, they really helped build the world and relationships around Morgan so we could get to know her more. Selkie was such a fun character as well, I would love a book just about her and her life story/the adventures she gets into. This is a great story of queer romance but also includes a little bit of a side story of respecting the environment!

Nice twist at the end

I hope to see the author create a part two 7 years later where we get to catch up with the two main characters and see their development and what they have been up to over the past 7 years. Does Kellie save her seal family? What explorations does Morgan experience during college? Would love to see if it’s true love or a great friendship.

Get Hard Cover!!

The art is beautiful and very structural, avoiding same face syndrome that's common in graphic novels. The story itself is adorable without it feeling rushed but getting to the point. Wish one of the main leads had more to her character than her species but that aside its an alright quick read. It has Romance, Mythical creatures, Environmental awareness and LGBTQ+ characters. i recommend getting hardcover since my paperback books cover popped off as soon as i opened it.

Beautiful Artwork and Character Design!

I loved the art style that was featured in this book! The characters were gorgeously captured and designed. The story was alright, a typical romantic love story with a bit of selkie magic! I do recommend it to those who love graphic novels and art or a general love story :3

Helped me realize I'm gay

I swear, this book was my first step in realizing I'm lesbian. It's such a sweet story, and holds a special place in my heart. I read it twice the first day I got it. All the characters and their interactions are very realistic and I love the resolution. The art style is gorgeous and I love the way the author included text messages.
