Navigating With You

by Jeremy Whitley

[Quirky Cat]

Summary:

Neesha Sparks and Gabby Graciana are two very different young women. While they met by chance, if it wasn't for one common passion, they may never have become so close. That passion? The love of a comic series (Navigator Nozomi).

Together, these two determined fans will hunt down the missing comics to re-read them – and hopefully, track down the conclusion they never got. There will be many adventures and life lessons along the way.

Review:

Navigating With You is not much what I was expecting, but it was a delight to read. It's the story of two passionate young women with vast dreams and a commitment to finding something they love.

In truth, I feel like the core of this plot will resonate with almost any reader—who here doesn't have a book or series they read when they were younger, only to somehow lose it (time, memory, damage, you name it)? I know it hit me hard, and so it wasn't hard to root for Neesha and Gabby.

Likewise, I enjoyed watching their budding friendship grow and transform. It's one of those slow-building (friends-to-lovers) romances but with a lot of heart. There are bumps along the way, which makes the story feel all the more human.

Highlights:
Young Adult
Coming of Age
LGBT+
Romance
