2*
This graphic novel features a cast of teenage animal characters navigating love and relationships. Vincent is either a bear or a dog who becomes infatuated easily and makes a mess of things. Since he’s a typical awkward teen, he seeks the advice of his friends (Bu, a female monkey whose good advice he ignores and his RPG male friends whose bad advice he tends to listen to). There’s a love triangle, long-distance romance, and heartbreak, all elements of a typical teen romance. The problem with the book is that the illustrations and dialogue would appeal to middle schoolers, but the storyline is more appropriate for older kids. Libraries serving pre-teens might consider adding it to their collection.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Super Genius through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
