I received an eARC courtesy of VIZ Media & NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Ugh! Why aren't there more of this yet?
Alright, I have not read the actual book of this one, so I'm coming at this with a completely fresh perspective.
Ah, social anxiety. I always love seeing characters that reflect this oft-overlooked issue. Cath is a character I could've used as a teen. Is this a teen book? Yes and no. I think the themes will resonate with teen readers and it certainly reads as a YA book. But it is set in college. Does that make it a "New Adult" book? I still am not sure.
The artwork was fun and immersive. Characters were well-drawn both in illustrations and dialogue.
For Libraries: I don't think you can go wrong here. Fans of Fangirl and newbies will find a lot to enjoy in these pages.
