Sequel to You Wish #1. The beginning was rather disappointing. If anyone had told me, while reading volume 1, that that’s how volume 2 starts, I’d not have believed it. I mean, it’s a valid reason to act that way, kinda, but still seemed pretty out of character for Gribblet. And so cliche. I did…

Overall cool idea, and a nice twist on the red string of fate – blue string for sexual partners, and black string for murder/victim.

On the left, the back cover. A green background with no visuals, just text: "Tessa hasn't spoken to Olive in ten years and she's not about to start now... Delight in this enemies-to-lovers graphic novel with a queer twist! Struggling twenty-something Tessa has the dream of a creative career that never quite seems to take off and a long line of terrible first dates. When the coffee shop where she works goes out of business, she's able to visit her parents for the first time in years. Arriving at her family home, she discovers that her parents have rented out the basement apartment to her high school nemesis, Olive Virtue. Old wounds resurface during Tessa's stay, but an accident that traps them in the attic forces them to face their past and think about their future." $18.99 U.S.A.

Tessa, a butch lesbian with a grey shirt and light brown hair, as well as two black earrings in her ears, is standing in the front and looking to the back left, to Olive. Olive is a slightly taller woman with blonde hair, a green long dress with green earring and glasses, looking at Tessa. Both women are blushing at each other. The background shows various scribbles and diary entries with small hearts at the top. Text: "I HATED YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL | KATHLEEN GROS"

More like: friends to enemies to lovers, with a bit of second chance trope. Not that it’s disappointing, I do prefer friends to lovers anyways.

The writing style is really good; I ate it it all in 2 days, and that’s quick af. Low-key invested.

A new spin, making the protagonist of African descent, a slave and a man of color. Plus, connecting it to the Haitian revolution.

Cinnamon Soul – Book Review

Share this:

A crime fantasy book that technically reads like a youngster’s adventure, yet the themes and language are definitely for adults.

A horizontal promo image of Moana 2. Moana, Maui, and the 3 additional characters (Keke, Moni and Loto) as well as the Kakamora are on the boat on the right, while Pua is sitting on a wave to the left, which is putting Hei-Hei back on the boat. There's the ship of the Kakamora, and an island, which looks like an open mouth of a whale, and a sunset in the background.

Moana 2 was quite disappointing, when I first watched it, but after I let it rest for a while, it didn’t seem that bad anymore.
