To be perfectly upfront, I couldn't tell you if this is actually a 5 star book that is getting deducted a star because I wasn't in the best mood when I started it, causing me to not enjoy the beginning as much as I otherwise would have. Nonetheless! This is an excellent comic collection that I did very much enjoy! The characters are realistic and very relatable. 😂 And it's simply delightful to watch them grow, learn about themselves, and figure out what they want in life as well as how to make it happen. Especially as someone who is feeling just as stuck as Cam, if not moreso.
