I love the art, characters, and story.
Causes The Feels. Adorable innocent dating.
Love and respect how Jules's private issue was handled.
Beware the use of "exotic" to describe people. Thankfully only once.
Touching mother-daughter moments. The metaphor about the dots and the lines was brilliant.
As a quiet introvert who moved in my teen years, this spoke to me. As the mother of a shy artist, I hope this inspires her to step out of her shell and listen when we compliment her work.
As I'll be telling my daughter though, somethings that sound or look like typical teenage angst is deeper than that. Paige meantions her social anxiety and the worrying issues. Some have minor instances they can overcome. Some will struggle with it their whole lives in therapy and on medication. You are not a failure if you can't improve yourself on your own like Paige. And as Paige discovers, asking for help isn't a weakness or failure.
