I also love how inclusive this series is with all different sexualities, identities disabilitues, skin shades and body shapes! 01/01/2020This cover!! 100% my aesthetic! 😍😍😍

Saddened that her best friend won’t be around for the annual mermaid festival, Julie is content with attending with her girlfriend, Selena. All is going well until they meet up with Selena’s friend and roommate, Skyla. Things start to go south, especially when it becomes clear that something is lurking around the corners watching Julie’s every move.I absolutely loved the first volume. While the second volume was a big rocky, I still liked it and was looking forward to seeing where the story went...

The worst part of reading this volume is that it ENDS and I am left wanting to know what's gonna happen!!!

This was all over the place in terms of plot and story. The art is amazing and beautiful, as always, but it was confusing. I also really didn't appreciate Cass telling Julie that she just needed to grow up when Julie was clearing experiencing some pretty anxiety. What julie needs is probably therapy and anti-anxiety meds, not chastisement. Hopefully the next volume is better.

Troubled waters finally takes on the character driven action it was hinting at in the earlier books. TW : Toxic relationshipThey removed the lighter Chet and the lighter storytelling and turned it fully dark and focussed on Julie's Arc.I seriously can't get enough of the art and especially the storytelling. How they described the root of Julie's issues and how she tackles them and the decisions she's taking.Spoilers for first&second volume: -Julie has had issues with her self esteem , her behavi...

I just adore the art and all the different characters in this series.

One of my least favorite tropes—toxic relationships based on a lack of communication. Just...literally take ten minutes and talk! I really want to love this series but the plot feels forced at times, and it jumps around. Some plot aspects are just hard to accept (such as the bff roommate that Julie just never heard a single thing about. Or the emotional manipulation from Cass and Selena. And what happened at Newpals? The internship was three days long only and there was the vision of the creatur...

✨ Moonstruck Vol. 1 ✨ Moonstruck Vol. 2 Content/Trigger Warnings: Toxic relationships, anger issues (from a side character), manipulation anxiety depictions, depression, trauma I truly wish I would have loved this graphic novel. I truly do, but it wasn’t in my cards when I first started this series and it’s still not looking good now. Don’t get me wrong, I understand why many readers love this series. The world is fascinating, the characters are interesting, and there’s

Probably the best volume so far. I've always liked the art and the supernatural world, but I had issues with the characters. Let's just say some of those issues were addressed or are beginning to be addressed. I think I'll continue with this series.

Oof. I keep wanting to love these books. Please, let me love them! First, the stuff I adore: The art is pitch-perfect, and I adore the looks and inclusivity: enby, gay, lesbian, fat, thin, varying skin tones, disabilities--it's all great. The worldbuilding is really intriguing, especially since there so much yet to be revealed.But. Julie and Selena's relationship continues to be extremely problematic. Toxic. Unhealthy. I would hope that eventually it'll resolve in a healthy fashion (which honest...

(So the actual funny story is that I just borrowed two volumes from the library; I picked up 1 because I couldn't remember anything that had happened in it, and what I thought was vol 2. It was not. It was this book! I had to go back and read book 2 to see if I had missed important context.)Things I liked:-The worldbuilding goes new places in volume 3!! With the introduction of (I keep wanting to call her Scylla but it's not), Selena's absent mermaid roommate, we get to dip our toes into an UNDE...

It references the last one a couple of times and I completely forgot what happened in volume 2 😅 This volume was definitely a filler book and I look forward to volume 4.

When I saw the third volume was out I was so excited to read it but to say this was disappointing is putting it mildly. After rereading the first two and finding a lot of issues I was very apprehensive about going into this one and honestly regret reading it. After volume two I really didn't think Selena's behavior could get worse but boy was I so wrong. None of the toxic behaviors is ever discussed and really just laughed off or brushed under the rug until the end when things just explode. In t...

As a BIPOC LGBTQ person I was so looking forward to this series but after the first volume, I’ve been very sorely disappointed. Vol 2 already decreased my interest and like for this series ... this volume told me to give up on the series entirely. In every volume the main plot is focused around miscommunication between characters & unhealthy platonic and romantic relationships — not for me. IDC if it’s “queer drama” or “quirky sci-fi romcom feels” — I’m not here for toxic relationships and a plo...

4 stars | this series gets better and better 💖

The story has lost some of its magic for me. In this 3rd volume, things got super choppy and the pacing was even more weird than the first 2 volumes. I'll only continue with the series if I have access through hoopla. This art style is one of my all-time favorites though. I'd love a poster with all the characters on it. Julia and Selena just seem like unhealthy people who need time to work on themselves before getting into a relationship. *shrugs*

This was interesting, and a little all over the place. I enjoyed it though. The characters are amazing and have grown a lot, and I love the art style.It did seem like this book was only a filler book, which I didn’t like, and as always there were some toxic things. Overall, I still found it fun to read.

THIS WAS SO CUTE!!! i love this graphic novel series so much!! 💕✨🙌🏻💜

I want so badly to like this series. I love the art, but boy oh boy is there some toxic relationship mess going on. I feel like this may have been better served coming out in more of an omnibus format? I’m a bad graphic novel/comic person (especially since I’m a librarian) but having these short, all over the place books are really not doing much to make me fall for the characters or really understand them. The main stars are for Chet and Manuel, the diversity in character body types and gender
