Cute, fun and silly, this was such a delightful read! Only problem is, now I'm really craving doughnuts...

This was cute, I really wanna keep reading it

Ugh, I liked this so much.It was so adorable and quirky and salty and sweet.I took this out to local middle schools in January/February 2020, and although my booktalk mostly focused on the major plot element of the first issue, I felt the need to include a quick runthrough of Things Jonesy's Into:Zines, Anime & Manga, her pet Ferret (Rocky), and her Dad's Doughnut Shop.Just seeing that list gives you a pretty good window into the character. Caitlin Rose Boyle's illustrations are a major part of

What a fun twist on the magical girl genre! Jonesy the comic is full of cuteness, but Jonesy the character has a wonderful harshness to her that balances things really nicely. The central stories are not love stories, but there are some crushes, including an extreme(ly relatable) celeb crush and an adorable f/f crush. It was a really fun comic to breeze through; I can see it being a good comfort read! There's friendship and donuts and heart eyes and other magical goodness!!!Thank you to Netgalle...

Omg. I got this as part of a Humble Bundle and I'm so glad I did! The art is cute, cartoony & colourful, and the comic is just fun and features a diverse cast of characters. The main character, Jonesy, hates a lot of things about highschool life (and life in general). She's against "the popular kids" and prom, and all sorts of stuff TBH. She's selfish & vindictive, but so full of energy (well, not when it comes to working). I think some people might just find her unlikable and not care for the c...

It's a brilliant origin story: bolshy geek girl Jonesy gets the power to ship people in real life from watching too much anime. Sadly but inevitably, it doesn't work if she tries to use it on herself. This could easily have been the set-up for an interminable and cliche-ridden manga series which I'd never read, but gains interest from being written by Sam Humphries, who deploys the same sick mind which gave us 'Our Love Is Real' (look it up when you're older) to have Jonesy's classmates suddenly...

Jonesy is such a great character, she's so angry which many teens are. She is also a bit of a jerk and is very vindictive, which is why usually when she uses her powers it's to spread chaos or get back at someone. It's a great spin on the outcast character, because many teens feel powerless in high school and she literally has secret powers. I also love that her biggest crush is a pop star it's just so accurate to teen crushes.

I read this because I and reading books with strong girl characters for a YA GN class I will teach again next summer. This qualifies, and is good, entertaining for teens, I think. Done by Humphries, who is an alternative comix guy on his own time and doing mot lighthearted kid stuff like this, too. My favorite issue is one focused on prom, and how much she hates it. The art is garishly colored and sort of a cross between alt and mainstream comics. But for the young (at heart).

RATING: 2 STARSDNF - 25%(I received an ARC from the NETGALLEY)(Review Not on Blog) The illustrations were too much for my eyes and the storyline for this one did not keep my attention. I am going to pass on this one and the series.

The art style is cute and I love Jonesy

This was great! I loved Jonesy as a snarky, too-cool-for-everything main character, and what I liked even more was how /not/ heteronormative this is! It's an all-ages comic where people are asked "Do you have a boyfriend? Girlfriend?" (No nonbinary option given, unfortunately.) And one of the side characters (a girl) has a crush on another girl and it's super cute! Such a great mix of cotton candy and sarcasm.

I liked how bright and colourful the illustrations were but sadly, I didn't like Jonesy as a character. There was an interesting cast though that helped me to finish reading the volume. I currently will not be continuing on with the series!

Jonesy is a really fun comic about Josephine aka Jonesy, a “cool dork” with a secret: she can make people fall in love. But sometimes she abuses her powers, just a little, just for fun. The story is hilarious, the art is great, and the colors are bright and cheerful. Jonesy herself is a delight, and the cast of characters of her friends and family make the entire book fun. We can’t wait for the next volume!

Light, with eye-popping colours, Jonesy is a teen who can make people fall in love with other people or with things. She feels things intensely, and tends to use her superpower without considering possible repercussions. That said, she cares for her friends, her father and grandmother, and is funny and melodramatic in vibrant sound and colour.

I wanted to love this one. The premise sounded amazing, and there is quite a bit of diversity (main character is Latinx, one of the female main characters has a crush on another girl), but I ended up feeling very disappointed.For one, I really didn't like the main character. I feel like they wanted to make her that kind of rebel character everyone loves, but they tried too hard and ended up with a pretty selfish and unlikeable character.I also felt like the plot wasn't executed very well.

Oh, man, I...super loved this! Think magical girl comic but with a pop-star-obsessed teenager who hates everything. She's cynical and mean and out for revenge...until she's not. Love her and Susan, love her donut pun-making dad, love Farid's dancing, love the S.C.I.S., love STUFF, and I totally had Mr. Big stuck in my head after I finished it.

Jonesy is a typical teen with a weird power: she can make people fall in love with anything. Except herself. Jonesy is forced to work towards her secret crush the old-fashioned way while creating all sort of mayhem and mischief with her super special powers.For those who loved Lumberjanes there is a very similar style of humour present in Jonesy. However the emotiona...

This was fun! Jonesy (Josephine), our heroine, is a Latinx teen girl who is in high school. She has a special ability to make people fall in love with other people or things, except herself. The art is vibrant with bold strokes and bright colors. The characters feel their emotions very intensely, and exaggeratedly, I think on purpose, so everything is A BIG DEAL and cartoony, which, again, I think is intentional.Amidst the chaos, Jonesy deals with her single father going on a date, trying to hel...

So much fun to read. It has a very similar feel to Lumberjanes, which is very high praise indeed from me. The sense of humor, style of dialog, and overall wackiness is very much like what you might find in Lumberjanes, and I am sincerely all about that. Jonesy herself, however, is a significantly less sympathetic character than the Lumberjanes girls. She can be selfish and short sighted and impulsive, but I still find her strangely charming. It may be because her entire world is so cartoonish th...
