"Magical and full of queer
joy―this book is such a dream!"―Alice Oseman, New York Times best-selling
author of Heartstopper
The course of true love never did run smooth . . . and neither does high school
in this new graphic novel series for fans of Heartstopper and The
Prince and the Dressmaker.
Vi came to Arden High for a fresh start and a chance to wear beanies and
button-ups instead of uniform skirts. And though doing it without her twin
feels like being split in half, Vi finds her stride when she stumbles
(literally!) into broody and beautiful poet-slash-influencer, Orsino. Soon Vi
gets roped into helping plan the school’s Twelfth Grade Night dance, and she
can’t stop dreaming about slow dancing with Orsino under the fairy lights in
the gym.
The problem? All Vi’s new friends assume she’s not even into guys. And before
Vi can ask Orsino to the dance, he recruits Vi to help woo his crush,
Olivia. Who has a crush of her own . . . on Vi.
Star-crossed love abounds in this hilarious and romantic story of
self-discovery, mistaken identities, and the magic that happens when we open
our hearts to something new.
My Review: This was such a great YA graphic novel! As someone who isn't very familiar with Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, I'm sure there were references I didn't get, that someone who has read it would, but that didn't lessen my enjoyment at all! Vi, Olivia, Orsino, and all of their friends were so fun to read about. This book made me laugh multiple times while reading it, while also having emotional parts in it. And the art! I loved how it captured all the characters, and it is so visually appealing with the colors. Overall, this was a wonderful book, that I would definitely recommend reading!
I received a copy of the book from the publisher and blog tour company.
